What happened last time?

Team Wellington came out on top in their Matchweek 2 clash with a 2-1 victory courtesy of goals from second half substitutes Joao Moreira and Nathanael Halemariam.

What they say

Scott Hales, Team Wellington head coach:

“One thing that we are well aware of is that they're a team full of confidence. And I think there were a few games in the first round that, looking back on now, they probably feel that they definitely could have gotten more out of point-wise.

“So it’s going to be an intriguing game at the weekend, one of the ones that we have to win - that's the message that we've been driving through the players this week. If we get the game plan correct, if we get our attitude correct, and our application, then there's not a team in this league that can match us. That's our mentality and that's something that we're going to take through into Sunday's game.”
