For the first time, Leichhardt Oval will host an A-League clash between long-standing rivals Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory. Sky Blues captain Alex Brosque says it’s a match he's excited for.

Council of the City of Sydney

Leichhardt Oval is set to host its first-ever Big Blue football match between Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory. Sydney FC, currently unbeaten at this venue and on a three-match winning streak, aims to continue its strong form despite a recent international break.

Melbourne Victory, last season's grand finalists, have only secured one win so far, increasing pressure on coach Arthur Dillis. The match is expected to be competitive, with Sydney FC favored to win, and will be broadcast on Tendrama and Paramount+.

Leichhardt Oval to host Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory game

For the first time ever, Leichhardt Oval will host a Big Blue between fierce rivals Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory. It's a contest this bloke lived for. Sky Blue's legend Alex Brosky. Your thoughts on this ground hosting a Big Blue? Does it fit the big bill? Oh look, it's very hard to go past a pumping Allianz Stadium when the Big Blue rolls around. But look, I think with the scenes we've seen in recent weeks when Sydney has played here, it's been fantastic. We've got a lot of people sitting on the hill and it makes for a great atmosphere. And Sydney are 2-0 without conceding a goal at this ground this season. So, you know, good signs. Let's talk about Sydney, because they started very poorly, it must be said. They've now won three in a row, but then the international break. Is that the kind of handbrake the team didn't need? Could it ruin the momentum? Look, I don't tend to read into those things all that much. I think it's a good time to reset for players nursing little injuries to come back to full fitness. But you're right, I think they were on a bit of a roll. Three wins in a row. Look, he's really hitting his straps and starting to become a presence, not just in defence, but getting forward as well. And Joe Lolli, this man, doing what he has done for so many years for Sydney FC, getting back to his best as well and contributing on the goalscoring charts. And look, Sydney are flying at the moment. OK, what about victory? Only one win this season. Grand finalist last year. How much pressure is on coach Arthur Dillis? I mean, could a loss tonight cost him with Brisbane next week? Look, I don't think it's that serious yet, but Melbourne Victory is one of those clubs where they demand success all year round. And it has been a very slow start for Arthur Dillis. We saw it when he took over last year, but a little bit strange. I think they've recruited quite well. Juan Mata, we've seen him, you know, nearing his best. They just haven't quite been there. I think that missing piece is in the front third at the moment. And Sydney are yet to concede at home here at Leichhardt. So it makes for difficult reading, I think, for victory. I'd ask for a tip, but I know which way you're going. Sydney 2-0. There you go. Thanks, Alex Brosk. Of course, you can catch the game from 7pm on Tendrama and Paramount+.
