The A-League’s biggest rivalry writes another chapter as Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory go head-to-head in a midweek matchup. Stay up to date with their A-League clash with live scores on The Roar from 7:35pm (AEDT).
The Sky Blues have played in three straight draws against the rest of the A-League’s top four – an encouraging run of form that proves they deserve to be at the pointy end of the ladder despite their bumpy start to the year. They’ll have to be on their guard against Melbourne Victory, however, who scored a stirring 5-4 win in new coach Steve Kean’s first match in charge and are now out of last place.

Thats why Macarthur and Western United should never have been added. Canberra should have had a team instead.
