The FFA Cup final is scheduled to get underway at 7:30pm (AEDT), with the match to be held at Coopers Stadium in Adelaide on Wednesday, October 23.
The Reds made their way into yet another decider of Australia’s premier football knockout competition with a victory away from home in the semi-finals over the Central Coast Mariners.
Melbourne, on the other hand, had to survive an early scare as they travelled to play NPL club the Brisbane Strikers, but after giving up the first goal, they charged away with what ended up being a win on the back of the classy Jamie Maclaren, who has been scoring goals for fun throughout the tournament.
The FFA Cup final will be televised around Australia by Fox Sports. They will broadcast the game on Channel 505, with coverage commencing at 7pm (AEDT), which is half an hour ahead of kick-off.
