Wellington Phoenix begin their Hyundai A-League Finals Series journey with an away trip to Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park this Friday 3 May 2019.
Having drawn with Melbourne Victory three times this season, Mark Rudan’s side will be looking to take the win after feeling more was deserved from their previous meetings.
Hyundai A-League golden boot winner, Roy Krishna was rested for the majority of the game last weekend and will hope to add to his goalscoring record against the team he’s put three passed this season.
This is the first Hyundai A-League Finals Series Wellington Phoenix have been involved in for four seasons and they’ll want to make the most of the hard work that has been put in this season under Mark Rudan.
Be sure to watch the game, Friday on Sky Sport 3 from 9.45pm NZT and support your Nix as they look to continue to create history.
