The finals have come early for Melbourne Victory and Canberra United as the sides meet on Sunday in a crucial clash in the race for the top four.
Both Victory (fifth on 14 points) and United (sixth on 10 points) are chasing down fourth-place Brisbane Roar (14 points), with three points imperative at Lakeside Stadium.
Jeff Hopkins’ defending premiers look to have overcome their slow start to the campaign to be firing at the right time and have won their last three in a row in the Westfield W-League.
In contrast, Canberra have seen their finals hopes take a huge hit in recent weeks, losing their last games on the bounce.
Will current form prove decisive for Victory in this one or can Heather Garriock’s side keep their top-four hopes alive and register a win on the road?
