With three rounds of games left to play in the regular season of the Australian A-League, two sides fighting for finals places will square off on Sunday, as Wellington Phoenix entertain Brisbane Roar.
Following three straight defeats, the hosts sit in fifth spot and only lead the chasing pack by two points, while their visitors have quickly climbed off the foot of the division and to within three points of the top three.
We say: Wellington Phoenix 1-2 Brisbane Roar
Wellington Phoenix have certainly been the stronger of the two sides throughout the campaign, but they will be low on confidence after three straight defeats, while the visitors have a degree of momentum following their recent improvement, and we back them to pull off a somewhat surprise result on their travels this weekend.

Two teams separated by just a single point in the fight for finals places in the middle of the Australian A-League table will square off in an important contest on Sunday, as Sydney FC host Perth Glory.
With three games of the regular season left to play, the home side currently sit sixth in the last finals place after a dip in their form, while the visitors could climb into the top six with a victory on Sunday.
We say: Sydney FC 1-1 Perth Glory
While the hosts arguably boast more quality in their squad, Perth Glory travel with some momentum, while Sydney FC are lacking confidence following a tough run, and although we do not anticipate Zadkovich's side taking all three points away from home, we do see them having enough to take a share of the points.

Adelaide United play host to Western United on Sunday with the possibility that the A-League Premiers title may already be out of their reach.
At a time when the home team sit in second spot in the standings, Western United find themselves down in 10th position.
We say: Adelaide United 2-1 Western United
There is every chance that Adelaide United may enter this contest feeling less motivated due to the Premiers situation. Nevertheless, we still expect the home side to do enough for maximum points, albeit by a tighter scoreline than many will anticipate.
