An important duel in the bottom section of the A-League, with both Perth Glory and Melbourne Victory experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 11th place.

It's no vacation for neither Perth nor Melbourne Victory as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Melbourne Victory have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
