Two of the A-League’s most in-form sides lock horns at AAMI Park as Melbourne City host the Wellington Phoenix. Tune into the action with live scores on The Roar from 4:05pm (AEST).
City’s thumping 4-1 win over Adelaide United last week served as another reminder that they’re the team to beat in season 2020/21. Nine points clear on top, they are all but unassailable at the head of the ladder, and having scored a whopping 52 goals for the season, no other side even comes close.
The Phoenix sit ninth, but haven’t tasted defeat since the last time they played City a month ago. An upset win here would revive hopes of a late charge towards a finals berth.
