Victory remain hopeful of finishing the regular season in third place, which would guarantee a Preliminary Final in Melbourne.
RECENT FORM

Melbourne have been a force at home this season, claiming Victory in five of their eight home games.
Brisbane will have to be at their best to stop the Victory, who will be spurred on by home support.
A TEAM FULL OF CONTRIBUTORS
One of the most positive stories to flow from the current campaign has been the Victory squad’s contribution across the stats board.
Goals have come from every point of the pitch, starting with Captain and central defender Kayla Morrison having scored 4 goals, midfielders Tiff Eliadis and Paige Zois having two goals each to their name, while Melina Ayres leads the way with seven.
Eliadis rescued a point for the Victory last time out away to Canberra in Round 18, arising late in the 88th minute. The midfielder made the run, after close to 90 minutes in the heat, and was rewarded as Maja Markovski delivered a pin point cross.
