Western Syndey Wanderers vs Wellington Phoenix Prediction

Western Sydney Wanderers drew their first game post-restart, as they shook off some inevitable rustiness. However, much will be expected from the likes of Nicolai Muller and Simon Cox.

Wellington Phoenix, on the other hand, have one of these best young prospects in the country in Liberato Cacace. The left-back has been linked with some top European clubs, and there will certainly be eyes on him.

Prediction: Western Sydney Wanderers 0:0 Wellington Phoenix
