2nd/ACL spot still up for grabs for MC, WU, WSW and MV. Although MV is a bit of a long shot. They would need to win, and the others all lose as well as close the GD gap with MC. Only a 4 goal gap so it's in the realm of possibility.

A win or draw from SFC will put them into finals and knock AU out. However, MC will definitely be going for the win to secure that 2nd spot. Should be a great game.

A refresher of the tiebreakers for this season:


If two or more Clubs are level on points accumulated, the following 11 step criteria will be applied, in order, until all Clubs can be separated and ranked:

Highest goal difference – last season ranked second
Highest number of goals scored – last season ranked third
Total number of wins – last season ranked first
Highest number of points accumulated in Matches between the Clubs concerned;
Highest goal difference in Matches between the Clubs concerned;
Lowest number of Fair Play Points accumulated;
Away goals difference (being the number of goals scored by the Club in away Matches minus the number of goals scored against the Club in away Matches);
Away goals per away Match;
Home goals difference (being the number of goals scored by the Club in home Matches minus the number of goals scored against the Club in home Matches);
Home goals for per home Match; and
Toss of a coin (tie of two clubs) or drawing of lots (tie of three or more clubs).

If Sydney get a draw they sneak their way into the finals on goal difference. Melbourne have the Asian Champions League to play for so they won't be holding back despite the sheep shaggers already getting the trophy.
