Wellington Phoenix vs Auckland: match statistics
Auckland demonstrates significantly better away form with a 44% win rate and a +4 goal difference, while Wellington Phoenix has only a 33% win rate at home and a -1 goal difference. The hosts have won just once in their last five home games, conceding an average of 1.78 goals per match, which, combined with a 0% clean sheet rate, indicates defensive issues. Auckland, on the other hand, boasts a 33% clean sheet rate in away matches and concedes only 0.89 goals on average per game, making their defense considerably more solid. The difference in league position (10th vs 2nd) and the hosts' poor recent form (1 point per game in the last 5 matches) further favor the visitors. Taking all statistics into account, Auckland holds a tangible advantage, although the weaker recent form of both teams could lead to a closely contested match.
