Where: Sydney Cricket Ground
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
A Big Blue at the SCG with second spot on the line between two sides with plenty of classic matches between the two of them.
The Victory have had the edge in this matchup winning each of the last three including last season’s memorable semi-final.
For Sydney, a win would be huge as it would give them a four point buffer over their rivals and some confidence they can actually beat the Victory heading into the finals.
With both sides facing midweek Champions League action after this game, this could turn into the first draw between them since the 2017 Grand Final (which Sydney won on penalties).
