A-League Round 18 Preview

Wellington Phoenix
vs
Auckland FC
Saturday, 5:00pm | Sky Stadium
Auckland FC to Win & Both Teams to Score | $3.20

The third and final derby of the year for the two Kiwi teams kicks off at 5pm Saturday night at the Cake Tin.

The Nix are 0-5 against Auckland FC, and I get the feeling Chiefy’s side just doesn’t know how to get over the speed bump that is Auckland FC. Both sides are coming off draws, Wellington with Western Sydney and Auckland with Macarthur.

If the sweep and continued domination over Wellington wasn’t enough motivation for the Black Knights, they’ve also been dethroned at the top of the table.

Wellington hasn’t seen a win in their last four games, so the pick is Auckland FC to win, paired with both teams to score. The first meeting between them ended 2-0 in favour of Auckland, but since then, both teams have scored in every other fixture.

That leads into the Super Boost we have on the game, too, a generous one at that. Both teams to score boosted from $1.60 to $2.25
