A-League snapshot - Round 26

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

- A draw between these teams would be the eighth draw between these two sides, which would be the most number of draws between any two Hyundai A-League teams.

Adelaide United (10) v Brisbane Roar (7)
Saturday, 6 February 2010, Hindmarsh Stadium, 7.30pm local (8.00pm AEDT)

- A win for Adelaide United will provide at least some hope of finishing above last spot on the final Hyundai A-League ladder, which would be the first time an Adelaide club has finished at the bottom of an Australian national league ladder since 1981 (West Adelaide).

Sydney FC (3) v Perth Glory (4)
Sunday, 7 February 2010, Parramatta Stadium, 5.00pm local
