The Brisbane Roar staged an amazing comeback from three goals down to snatch a point in their duel with the Wellington Phoenix.
Final score
Wellington Phoenix 3
Brisbane Roar 3
The Wellington Phoenix and Brisbane Roar are both desperate to escape from the lower reaches of the A-League table when they meet on Saturday. Join The Roar for live scores from the match at Westpac Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 5:35pm AEDT.
Neither of these sides is having a particularly good time of it so far in the 2017-18 A-League season, and after three games played each they boast no wins and only one draw between them.
The Phoenix sit in eighth spot and although they haven’t snagged a win just yet they might not be too disappointed with their performances so far, given the quality of the opposition they have come up against.
They snagged a draw with Adelaide United in the first week of the new season, 1-1, before suffering close losses to last year’s champions Sydney FC (3-2) and this year’s leading team on form Melbourne City (1-0).
Brisbane on the other hand can make few excuses at they sit at the bottom of the table with three losses and not a point to their name, having lost to Melbourne City (2-0), Adelaide United (2-1) and last week the Newcastle Jets (2-1).
There’s a long way to go of course between here and the end of the year but at this stage both sides are some distance off the pack of teams challenging for finals spots and have some work to do to make up ground on them, though obviously the Phoenix’s form is at least mildly encouraging.
Brisbane, on the other hand, seem to be really suffering from the loss of Jamie Maclaren and are in dire need of a turnaround.
Prediction
At home, expect Wellington to get their first win of the season.
Wellington Phoenix 1-0.
