The Phoenix play host to Western Sydney Wanderers at Porirua Park on Saturday afternoon in their final round match, which doubles as the club’s Pride game.
While Wanderers are vying for a place in next month’s finals, the Nix can finish no higher than eighth after results went against them in the penultimate round.
Phoenix head coach Paul Temple says they’ll be “attacking the game” the same way they have all season.
“We’ve travelled everywhere now in the A-League and there’s not many better than Porirua Park when the Yellow Fever are in the stands.” – Phoenix Coach Paul Temple.
“We’ve picked the team to go out and put a game plan together to try and win,” Temple told media after training on Thursday. “Everyone’s very determined to finish strongly, says Temple.
“I think it’s important that we finish in style. Give the fans something to cheer about and end our season on a good note.
“We’ve been treated to such a good atmosphere at Porirua Park all season. It’s…almost second to none.
