First Wellington Phoenix home game too close to call

9:19 am on 16 August 2009

The Wellington Phoenix football team play their first home game against Perth Glory this Sunday, but former New Zealand All White Wynton Rufer says it's a hard game to call.

Both teams are coming off a loss in the first round, but it's the Phoenix who have something to prove after placing last and 6th in the past two years of the eight-squad Australian competition.

Rufer says although the Phoenix have played well in home games in the past, a new-look Perth side might give them a run for their money...

The game kicks off at Westpac Stadium at 5pm Sunday.
