Football Bet of the Day: Goals rising high for Phoenix

Wellington v Melbourne City
Saturday 07:35 (Live on Betfair Live)

1-1 in Australia this morning.

But it's a long way to go for just one day, so we're sticking for Saturday's A-League season opener for Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne City, whose three meetings last term brought 10 goals in total.

A year ago, Wellington's first three home games of the new campaign delivered 14 goals. Ernie Merrick's men have also seen five of their most recent 12 outings at Wellington Stadium throw up Over 3.5 Goals.

Since John van't Schip took charge almost three years ago, more than half of Melbourne City's away games have delivered Over 3.5 Goals (18/34, including 8/13 last season) and we like the price on at least four more coming along in Wellington.
