One of the showpiece games of the A-League Men’s calendar is set for Saturday night with the derby between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory set for AAMI Park. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:45pm (AEDT).
Prediction
Victory have been on a tear in the A-League so far and remain undefeated through the opening two months, topping the scoring charts in the process. City started poorly but have rebounded of late, quietly moving up into sixth position.
With both sides looking to control and attack, it should be an entertaining clash – and two of the competition’s best strikers will face off, too, with current top scorer Bruno Fornaroli going head to head with all-time leader Jamie Maclaren.
Melbourne City 2-2 Melbourne Victory

The empty seats would be members of AAMI Park I’d assume? Not much you can do about them if they are interested in league and/or rugby but not football.

Bruno speaks well. Pure class. Probably a job in media (football) after his A-League commitments awaits.

Jersey tugs and holding back are a blight on the game in Aus, at all levels. Good refereeing. If you want to win, don’t cheat.

I don’t like Victory, but their crowd does look impressive. Got tickets for the same game on April 6. Will be great.

Black-letter interpretation of the laws, but I've seen worse than that let go.

Five minutes of injury time. The crowd have a spring in their step. City with another crucial miss.

Good call, you can’t just pull down the defender.

Yikes. 0-0 still. That looked like a City goal to me.

All due respects to him but I don’t see why they bother playing Broxham
