A potential jump to top spot on the Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s ladder awaits Michael Valkanis’ men this Saturday as they return home to face Wellington Phoenix at a near sold out Kayo Stadium.
After an incredible, last ditch 2-1 victory over Central Coast Mariners on New Year’s Eve, a tough test is in store against a Wellington Phoenix side who got the better of the Roar in Round 2.
