It’s a virtual elimination final at Bankwest Stadium as the Western Sydney Wanderers host the Wellington Phoenix with everything to play for. Tune into this crucial A-League clash with live scores on The Roar from 7:05pm (AEDT).

The Wanderers have been a source of frustration for fans in recent times. Just when they seemed destined for finals with an upset win over crosstown rivals Sydney FC followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Western United, Carl Robinson’s team appear to have fallen off a cliff. First they were obliterated 5-1 by the red-hot Glory, then gave up their Sydney Derby stranglehold with a 1-0 loss to the Sky Blues that, frankly, flattered them.

The Wanderers have missed finals in three successive seasons, and the pressure would well and truly on if they make it a fourth. Now sitting ninth, three points and a game behind the sixth-placed Brisbane Roar, there chances are slim as it is – but a loss here would all but end their season.

Having finally returned home after a summer away last week, the Phoenix find themselves back on Australian shores. Their brief stint back in New Zealand did net them a 3-0 win over Western United in front of a mega home crowd of 24,105, extending their unbeaten run to seven matches.

This Wanderers match-up, plus their next game against the Glory, are virtual six-point affairs, with the loser likely to rule themselves out of the race. The Phoenix will be praying their strong recent form holds true.
