Match Scoring / Conceding First

This page keeps track of the number of matches a team has scored or conceded the first goal in a match. This helps give you a better idea of what to expect from Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory FC in terms of their tendencies from both an attacking and defensive perspective.

Wellington Phoenix has come out and scored the first goal in 58% of the matches they have played so far in the A-League. And on the other side, they have conceded the first goal in 35% of matches.

Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory FC comes into this contest having scored a goal before their opponent in 30% of matches in this campaign. And in terms of giving up the first goal, they have done so in 67% of matches.

This information helps to provide a deeper insight into the two teams’ play in the competition. A higher rate of scoring the first goal indicates a more aggressive side that imposes its will onto its opponents. Similarly, a high rate of conceding the first goal points to a side whose defence struggles to keep things tight at the back.

It should prove useful to study these teams’ tendencies of scoring or conceding first, as well as whether these tendencies change when they play at home or away in A-League.
