WEL vs MLV Dream11: Wellington Phoenix face Melbourne Victory in an A-League clash at the Wollongong Showground on Wednesday. Wellington Phoenix held Brisbane Roar to a 1-1 draw at home on Sunday to continue a decent run of form that have seen them take seven of their total 12 points from their last four A-League matches. The sort-of hosts, considering their ‘home’ this season is on Australian soil in Wollongong, have been able to beat the teams around them in recent weeks and that should see more pressure heaped on rock-bottom Melbourne Victory. Victory have lost three league games in a row now but what is more concerning is by how much.
