Team Form

Miramar Rangers come into this match with inconsistent form: two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five outings. They beat Napier City Rovers 3-2 away and demolished FC Western 12-0 at home, but also drew 0-0 with Waterside Karori and 1-1 with Petone FC, and lost 1-2 to Cashmere Technical in the Chatham Cup. That mixed bag leaves questions about their consistency.

Western Suburbs FC, on the other hand, are flying. They have four wins and one draw in their last five matches. Highlights include a 3-0 home win over Waterside Karori, a 2-0 away victory at Petone FC, and a 2-0 home success against Island Bay United. The only blemish was a 2-2 draw at Wellington Phoenix Reserves. This strong run gives them plenty of confidence.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record is short but one-sided. Miramar Rangers have won both previous meetings. They beat Western Suburbs FC 2-0 in the Chatham Cup on Jun 13, 2026, and 2-1 in the National League on Nov 29, 2025. Western Suburbs are yet to score more than one goal or take a point from this fixture.
