Melbourne Victory are looking to extend their lead at the top of the table as they face reigning Premiers Central Coast Mariners as part of Unite Round in the A-League. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 5pm (AEDT).
Prediction
Still undefeated, the Victory will look to add another scalp to their belt when they grapple with the surging Mariners.
It looks a ripping affair, with goals assured; and the men in yellow might just be able to score one more than their opponents tonight, especially considering the absence of Bruno Fornaroli for the Victory.

What a match. Thank you, Stu. I was assisting with dinner, feeding my daughter, & refreshing the blog every minute or so. In the last few minutes, I was furiously refreshing the tab every ten seconds. Nicely done.
