    Wellington Phoenix women's coach believes their understrength side's due some luck against Western United in Melbourne

    Wellington Phoenix women's coach Paul Temple believes their understrength side's due some luck in tonight's A-League match against Western United in Melbourne


    They've lost all eight games across the ditch.

    The Phoenix are missing a handful of key players to injury and international duties, which Temple says could take the pressure off.



    Kick off is at 7pm.
