Nix out to strengthen finals hopes
This clash is expected to be a tough one as only six games remain for the 2016-17 A-League season league to come to an end, Wellington Phoenix will be out to continue their surprise momentum after beating Brisbane Roar 2-1 at Suncorp Stadium.Meanwhile, Perth Glory can strengthen their hold on the third spot with a vital away victory in Auckland on Saturday night.
Perth Glory comes into the clash after a 2-0 defeat at Western Sydney Wanderers and will look forward to winning at QBE Stadium.
Wellington has had their common struggles with consistency this season, and Glory coach Kenny Lowe will be instructing his men to boss the game and deny the Nix the space to play some of the eye-catching football they showcased against John Aloisi’s tired Roar charges last time out.
Shane Smeltz vs. Diego Castro
This opportunity is Smeltz’s moment to shine against his former team where he played 58 games scoring 28 goals across 2011-2014. He netted again in his last match and will be desperate to prove his worth in Nix colors to the Wellington fans.
