How to watch Sydney FC vs Wellington Phoenix A-League live and match preview
After dominant recent seasons at the top of the A-League table, Sydney FC are facing a rough period, with Wellington Phoenix up next.
Sydney FC have their best chance of breaking their A-League season duck this weekend when they host Wellington in round 5. The season has started in disastrous fashion for the Sky Blues, who were premiers in 2020 and runners-up last season. Winless, they have managed just 2 points from their opening 4 games and are languishing in 11th place on the table.
In Wellington, they meet an opponent they enjoy a dominant record over and one also battling for form. The Phoenix sit just 2 places higher on the table with just a solitary win from the opening 4 rounds.
When is Sydney FC vs Wellington Phoenix?
The game takes place at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium in Sydney on Sunday 19 December at 6:45pm AEDT.

Who will win Sydney FC vs Wellington Phoenix?
Sydney FC have not lost to Wellington across the last 7 matches played between the teams. They'll want that to continue and are, of course, desperate for a win and 3 points.
But it has been a good week for Wellington. In fact, an historic one, with the Phoenix advancing to the last 8 of the FFA Cup for the first time in their history after defeating Avondale 4-1 in that tournament.
It's a big day for both clubs as the men's and women's teams face each other in a double-header, which Sydney in particular will be hoping brings a few extra fans in the gate. The club is one of a number across the competition struggling to pull in crowds this season.
The Phoenix have leaked goals so far, conceding 8 for the first 4 rounds. Sydney have had trouble scoring, managing just 2 goals so far. Wellington have 3. It'll be tight and hard fought. We think Sydney FC at home will get the win.
