Competition: Australia A-League
Date: Sun 12.May
Match begins: 09:00 (UTC)
Venue: Netstrata Jubilee Stadium (22000 seats)

The managers S. Corica and K. Muscat are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the A-League league table.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the AFC Champions League. That game, against Daegu, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Melbourne Victory.

Melbourne Victory have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
