The A-League Finals Series has reached the semi-final stage with the Wellington Phoenix in action, looking to secure their first-ever Grand Final appearance and, perhaps, a first piece of silverware in the process.

While the Phoenix are well rested, the Victory are coming off the back of an extremely sapping derby win over Melbourne City - a game in which they played with 10 men for over 80 minutes.

Kick-off is at 6pm NZT.
