Wellington Phoenix will invite Auckland to Wellington Regional Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. Both teams have enjoyed an unbeaten run in three league games thus far. The visitors are at the top of the standings, having registered two wins.

Phoenix played their second draw of the league campaign last week as they were held to a 1-1 stalemate by the Central Coast Mariners. Ifeanyi Eze gave them an early lead in the fourth minute, and James Sabit leveled the scores for the Mariners in the 52nd minute.

The Black Knights were held to a goalless draw by Melbourne Victory in their campaign opener, and they have won their last two games. Goals from Sam Cosgrove and Louis Verstraete helped them register a 2-1 home win over Adelaide United last week.

Wellington Phoenix vs Auckland Prediction

The Nix have recorded just one win in the league this season, with that triumph coming at home against Brisbane Roar last month. Notably, they failed to score in their home meeting against the league leaders last season and will look to improve upon that record.

The Black Knights have won their last two games, scoring three goals while conceding just once, and will look to continue that form here. They are winless in their last two regular-season A-League away games.

The league leaders have scored 10 goals in their three meetings against Phoenix, and considering their current form, we back the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
