Wellington Phoenix W vs Melbourne Victory Women tips and predictions

Neither side holding solid claims

Any outcome could happen here. The draw is worth a look. Considering how they've looked recently, you can expect this to be tight. A goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. Making a fortress out of their home ground, Wellington Phoenix W have conceded at an average of just 0.8 goals per game over their last 4 matches and Melbourne Victory have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 3 away matches.

The sportsbooks expect both sides to get in on the act as they could be well matched. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.

Wellington Phoenix W have drawn 2 of their last 5 matches on their own soil and Melbourne Victory have drawn 7 of their last 11 matches. The last time they had a close encounter was when they shared the spoils with Brisbane Roar W last Sunday. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to be on one's guard about and so the draw warrants consideration. A deadlock is on the cards after what looks likely to be a close encounter.
