Over 2.5 Goals Looks the Best Option

Brisbane and Wellington look likely to play out a high-scoring encounter, with Over 2.5 looking like a sound wager on the Total Goals market. You can get a price of -150 for this outcome which looks worth snapping up.

1-1 Draw in Previous H2H Meeting

Brisbane Roar drew their last game 1-1, with the action taking place at Kayo Stadium against Adelaide United. The Roar had the majority of the ball boasting 58% possession and four shots on target, with Asumah Abubakar-Ankra registering the goal.

Wellington Phoenix have lost back-to-back games. Away from home in their previous appearance, Adelaide United won 3-2 at Coopers Stadium. The New Zealand club were restricted to just 36% possession and managed three shots on goal, with Kosta Barbarouses and Isaac Robert Hughes both on target.

Wellington boast an unbeaten record in the past seven games against Brisbane, with the last clash ending 1-1 at Sky Stadium. The past 10 H2H matches have resulted in five Wellington wins, four draws and one Brisbane success.
