Auckland FC will be looking to extend their stellar run of form in the A-League when they take on Wellington Phoenix in the Kiwi Clasico at the Go Media Stadium on Saturday. The Black Knights lead the league standings while the Nix are 10th. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Auckland’s incredible first season in the top flight got even better last week when they extended their lead atop the table to five points with a 2-0 victory over Western United.
That result extended the Black Knights’ unbeaten run to five matches, including four wins and one draw, with four of those games ending with them scoring two or more goals.
At home, the hosts have avoided defeat in their last three games and kept clean sheets in two, while they have still only been beaten once at the Go Media Stadium this season (W6 D1 L1).
Meanwhile, Wellington Phoenix’s downward spiral continued last week when they were beaten 1-0 on the road by Melbourne City.
The Nix are now winless in their last three league games and have only managed two victories in their last 11 dating back to the start of December (W2 D3 L6).
On the road, the visitors have lost four of their last five matches - with the exception being a 2-1 win over Macarthur - and they conceded two or more goals in three of those defeats.
