Wellington Phoenix host Newcastle Jets on Saturday in a meeting between two clubs vying for qualification to the Finals series.
The Nix lie fifth with just eight games of the regular season left while Newcastle are one point behind but narrowly outside of the six playoff spots.
We say: Wellington Phoenix 1-0 Newcastle Jets
Despite the goal-laden reputation of Sky Stadium, Saturday's lunchtime match may be a cagey affair as two direct rivals in a fiercely competitive race for the playoff spots meet with the Phoenix, back on home soil for the first time since January, boasting a slight edge against this shot-shy Jets side.

Western United will host Perth Glory as both clubs head into the final stages of the season and will battle it out for a crucial three points at the Mars Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

We say: Western United 2-2 Perth Glory
We believe that this game is destined to produce a high quantity of goals, as both sides have poor defensive records and are in good scoring form as of late.
We think that this game will be entertaining to watch as the two sides will trade blows, but will conclude with a point apiece.

After two games without a win Sydney FC will be attempting to get their season back on track this Saturday when they host Melbourne Victory.
The visitors returned to the foot of the A-League table after their most recent defeat, which is something they could turn around with three points this weekend.
We say: Sydney FC 2-1 Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Victory have been pushing themselves as of late, putting on some great performances to showcase that they are not going to finish the season without a fight.
However, Sydney FC have been one of the stronger teams in the division as of late and with the home advantage they should just edge this one.
