Check out the preview below:
 


Sydney FC vs Brisbane Roar

Andrew Redmayne's Sydney FC will be aiming for a fourth successive win when the Sky Blues entertain rivals Brisbane Roar on Saturday.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in the 1-0 derby victory against Western Sydney Wanderers last weekend.

Joel King made his first appearance as a substitute since his loan return to the club and could be a chance to start for Steve Corica's side.

Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne City

Three Melbourne City Subway Socceroos will be integral to their team when they encounter Melbourne Victory in the Melbourne Derby.

Mathew Leckie was phenomenal against Perth Glory last time out, scoring a stunning overhead bicycle kick and then turned provider after dribbling the ball from the halfway before assisting his teammate. The 32-year-old has four goals and three assists for the campaign.


Leading the A-League Men's Golden Boot race is Jamie Maclaren with 16 goals and is no stranger to finding the back of the net in the team's biggest fixture.

Marco Tilio, who came off the bench against Perth, is also a chance to feature for City, who lie eight points clear at the summit with a game in hand.


Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners

Jason Cummings and Danny Vukovic make the trip west as the Central Coast Mariners tackle Perth Glory.

Cummings failed to score for the first time in four matches and will be determined to etch his name on the scoresheet and add to his 10 goals in the 2022/23 season.

The Australia pair both played the full 90 minutes in a 2-1 triumph against Brisbane Roar in their previous game. 

Adelaide United vs Western Sydney Wanderers

Craig Goodwin and third-place Adelaide United host Western Sydney Wanderers at Coopers Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The 31-year-old sealed a comeback 3-2 win for the Reds over Western United last weekend, converting from the penalty spot in the 86th minute for his seventh goal of the season.

Goodwin was also pivotal in the equaliser when his free-kick cannoned off the post and landed at the feet of Ryan Kitto for a simple tap in.
