Wellington Phoenix will be looking to return to winning ways against Melbourne City after the nine-game unbeaten run came to an end against Sydney FC, mid-week.
The Wellington side host in-form Melbourne City in NZ’s Capital of Football but the travelling team will have to face an intimidating set of Phoenix fans as we hope for another big turn out.
Head Coach, Mark Rudan changed his squad for the previous round against Sydney FC so the question is will we see changes again this week as he looks for a win against the Melbourne side.
