In a weekend match on Sun Oct 9th, in week 1, Wellington Phoenix will host Adelaide United at Westpac Stadium in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched A-League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which is great football weather. Wellington Phoenix has not played yet this season, and neither has Adelaide United.
Wellington Phoenix starts the year after ending last season in 6th place, while Adelaide United is starting their season after ending last season at 4th place.
