The undefeated Melbourne Victory host Adelaide United at AAMI Park in the latest edition of the Original Rivalry. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:45pm (AEDT).
Prediction
It has been a defensively solid start to the year for Tony Popovic’s Victory and the inconsistent Adelaide Reds will be up against it away from home in Round 10.

Adelaide just wait… They scan, look around, decide not to shoot, pass… Victory just go for it & make the game look natural.

90+3 Scrappy stuff with long ball from end to end the go right now. Victory remain undefeated and must surely be favourites after ten weeks of the competition. Sorry City, but we know you always choke on the big day! Melbourne Victory………………..………………2 Adelaide United………………….………………..0

Adelaide: slow and unthreatening; can't do anything in central midfield where the other mob have dominated all night; wingers surrounded and ineffective when they eventually get it. Game over. :unhappy:
