The Wellington Phoenix travel across the ditch for the last time this season to take on Melbourne Victory. Full back Scott Galloway is in line for his 100th Hyundai A-League appearance, reaching this milestone against the side who gave him his debut in season 2012-13.
The last time the Nix faced the Victory at AAMI Park, it was a happy afternoon for Coach, Chris Greenacre, as the side ran out 3-0 winners. Will we see a repeat this weekend?
As a mark of respect, both sides will be donning black arm bands in memory of former Wellington Media and Kit Manager, Russell Gray who passed away earlier this week.
