Derby fever: Auckland FC’s record-breaking run and rivalry showdown!

Nice Drop of Port

History is being written, and Auckland FC are leading the charge! With five wins from five, no goals conceded, and a table-topping debut season, they’re the team everyone’s talking about. And this week, it all builds to the most anticipated clash yet—the sold-out home local derby against Wellington Phoenix at Go Media Stadium Mt Smart.

We’re diving into Auckland’s record-breaking form, the 2-0 win over Newcastle Jets in the rain, and the hype surrounding the derby. Joining us is Robbie Feldman, who’s flown in from Sydney for what he calls the biggest match of his life, and Shane, a former Phoenix fan who’s switched his allegiance to the blue and black.

With fake tickets in the news and resale prices hitting $400, we’ll unpack the frenzy and give you our predictions for this blockbuster showdown. Grab your mates, your pint and settle in—this is one you don’t want to miss! ⚽🔥
