Wellington Phoenix - Brisbane Roar. Forecast for the Australian Championship match (March 21, 2021)

"Wellington Phoenix" had a short streak of two victories over the "Newcastle Jets" (2-0) and "Perth Glory" (3-0) before the "Sydney Wanderers" game. This allowed the wards of Ufuk Talay to move from the last place to tenth, and in case of success in the previous round, the team could even move to the ninth line, at the same time catching up with "Western United" on points.

And at first everything went according to "Wellington's" plan, by the first break they had the advantage. But the second half of the game turned out to be weak and 2:1 as a result turned into 3:4. "Phoenix" managed to escape in stoppage time, but the referees intervened and canceled the goal due to the offside position.

"Brisbane Roar" is in the middle of the standings solely due to a quick start, but in the very near future the club may roll back a couple of positions. The team under the leadership of Warren Moon has not known the taste of victories since February 6. Since that moment, three draws and the same number of defeats have been recorded.

The guests have, in fact, only one problem - the lack of realization of moments in the attack, which still cannot get out of hibernation. In four meetings, "Brisbane" left the field without goals, which speaks of a serious crisis. The club was able to get points in confrontations with "Sydney" (0:0, 1:1) and "Newcastle Jets" (0:0), but "MacArthur" (0:2), "Perth Glory" (1:3) and "Western United" (0:1) could not oppose anything.
