Bitesize Prediction: Brisbane Roar vs Wellington Phoenix – 30/03/22

Competition: A-League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 888sport

In another A-League showdown that could prove to be a lively affair on Wednesday morning, the Brisbane Roar will welcome Wellington to Queensland.

Starting with the hosts, while Brisbane might have managed to find a much-needed boost earlier in the month, the Roar have really come crashing back down to earth. Enduring what has been another worrying week in Queensland, Head Coach Warren Moon has seen his side suffer back-to-back A-League defeats on home soil. Last seen over the weekend getting hit with an action-packed 3-2 defeat against Western United, the former champions have now lost five of their last seven outings. Firmly battling it out at the foot of the table and desperate not to lift the wooden spoon this season, Brisbane have also gained a reputation for their rather glaring struggles at the back. Shipping five goals in their back-to-back losses over the past week, it should also be noted that Wednesday’s hosts have failed to record a single clean sheet since the end of January.

As for the visitors, managing to make a welcomed return to winning ways last weekend thanks to a last-gasp 2-1 victory against Perth, there is no doubt that Wellington will be desperate to keep up that momentum here. Only sat outside the top-half thanks to their goal difference, Head Coach Ufuk Talay has seen his side lose just a pair of their last nine A-League outings, a run that stems back to January 29th. However, suffering a 2-1 loss when they faced off against Wednesday’s opponents earlier in the season, it should be noted that the Phoenix hold a downbeat record in Queensland. In fact, Wellington have failed to win any of their last seven straight trips to Brisbane, a run that goes back to 2015. In a contest that could be another enjoyable affair, we’re backing both teams to find the net here.

Bet: Both teams to score at Brisbane Roar vs Wellington Phoenix 7/10 for Wednesday’s A-League showdown @ 888sport
