The Red & Black are set to play in Finals football for the first time in six years after Saturday’s 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory.

The turnaround under Marko Rudan has been impressive over the last year, with a slew of smart recruits from home and overseas turning the Wanderers into a team that is combative, entertaining and resilient.

The Wanderers will face Wellington Phoenix in their final regular season home match with the New Zealand side hoping to turn things around.

In their final home game of the season, the Phoenix conceded a late goal from a set piece to draw 2-2 with Brisbane Roar at Eden Park in Auckland.

After a lacklustre first half showing where the teams traded penalties, Brazilian midfielder Yan Sasse gave the Nix the lead early in the second half and they had multiple opportunities to score a third goal, but couldn’t find the back of the net.

With second spot on the ladder up for grabs for the Wanderers, it’s time to fill up Wanderland and push the boys to an important three points. $40 Family Passes and $15 Safe Standing Tickets are available here.
