OK
so I didn't do a preview last week, well actually I did, but I never
posted it, meaning I can't brag about correctly picking the exact
correct score of 4-1 for Team Wellington v Southern United!
This
week sees another round of 4 games only, as Auckland City are away in Japan
for the FIFA Club World Cup, where they came agonisingly close to getting another famous result but fell to a late goal from Japan's Kashima Antlers and lost 2-1
==========================================================
The
home team is away from home, playing the away team who are playing at
home but its an away game for them, makes sense!
Wellington
Phoenix are taking on the Central Coast Mariners in the A-League at
7:35pm and this game is the curtain raiser which will also be on Sky TV
League
Position Weenix 6th Hamilton Wanderers 8th
Last
season 1st ever game between these 2 teams

FMG (or Waikato) Stadium will be the 8th “home”
ground used by the Weenix, the others being David Farrington Park, Newtown Park,
Westpac Stadium, Petone Memorial and Hutt Rec in Wellington and Auckland's Mt Smart Stadium & Eden Park
Pick Weenix 1 Hamilton Wanderers 1
==========================================================
When
this game kicks off it will be 377 days since Southern United have
recorded a win, while new coach Paul O'Reilly and his Irish imports have given
reason for optimism they have yet to convert improved performances
into results on the field
League
Position Southern United 10th Hawke's Bay United 5th
Last
season Southern United 1 Hawke's Bay United 2

Its been 5 years since Southern United (then Otago United) have
beaten
Hawke's Bay United (it was 2-0).
Pick Southern United 1 Hawke's Bay United 3
==========================================================
Another Stirling Sports Premiership game that's a curtain raiser this weekend, this one to
the National Women's League Final of Canterbury United Pride v
Capital, which kicks off at 4pm - it should be a great day of
football at English Park

Position Canterbury United 7th Eastern Suburbs 1st

Christchurch has not been a particular happy hunting ground for
Eastern Suburbs, of their 19 visits to the garden city they have
played Christchurch United, New Brighton, Woolston Working Men's Club
and Cashmere Technical and only won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 13
Pick
Canterbury United 2 Eastern Suburbs 3
==========================================================
The
Craft Beer Derby – Nelson claim they are the Craft Brewing Capital of NZ, while Wellington claim they are the Craft Beer Capital. Nelson has the hops and 12 breweries, Wellington has 10 breweries and many bars in which to taste the amber nectar revolution

Team Wellington have played in Nelson once before in 2010 when
they beat Canterbury United 2-1 in front of a crowd of 2500.
Pick Tasman United 1 Team Wellington 2
