Melbourne Victory (1) v North Queensland Fury (9)
Friday, 5 February 2010, Etihad Stadium, 8.00pm local

- A crowd of more than 12,253 at Etihad Stadium this weekend will ensure Melbourne Victory attains an average home-and-away season crowd of more than 20,000 – this would be the fourth season in a row the Victory has topped 20,000 for its average home crowd in the home-and-away season.

Central Coast Mariners (8) v Newcastle Jets (6)
Saturday, 6 February 2010, Bluetongue Stadium, 6.00pm local
