Wellington Phoenix vs Sydney FC Preview
The Nix begin their campaign in a new (and ideally temporary) home of Wollongong, 2222km west of their normal home in Wellington.
With all of the disruption of their offseason, it’s easy to forget that Ufuk Talay actually consolidated on the hard work of Mark Rudan last season and further strengthened that squad.
Even with a few key departures they should have the defensive fortitude to hold out a Sydney side that might take a few weeks to find its identity.
The champions lost star marksman Adam Le Fondre in the offseason and at the time of writing, it looks like promising youngster Trent Buhagiar will get first crack at leading the line.
If the opening round was anything to go by, the finishing across the league was a bit rusty so I’ll take the value on another low scoring contest.
