It’s round six of the Ninja A-League and Victory Women are back at home hosting Wellington Phoenix at the Home of the Matildas.
The return of Friday night football has Victory poised to continue their run of strong performances while Wellington Phoenix hope to continue to improve after a challenging start to the season.
Melbourne Victory:
Coming off a thrilling 93rd minute goal and subsequent win in the hot conditions in Perth, Victory have a short turn around before they are back on the pitch at home. This week will mark the return of Emily Gielnik and Alex Chidiac to the team following their stint with the Matildas during the international window. Both have been in terrific form and will give Head Coach Jeff Hopkins even more depth to play with as they aim to continue their dominance, only one point behind the top spot on the ladder.
Wellington Phoenix:
Wellington Phoenix have had a mixed start to the season having lost three in a row before finding their feet. Now with two wins on the board and sitting 8th on the ladder, the Phoenix will be hoping the trip across the Tasman to Melbourne adds to their points.
