Title: Melbourne City play in the A-League Finals tomorrow
Post by: shandon on May 02, 2015, 09:59:40
They will play in New Zealand against Wellington tomorrow. They have been pretty poor in the last few away games but had been better before that. I'm not very confident for them, but at least they made the finals this year!

I do not understand this format?
Is it a cup match or an end of season play off?

In the A league they have a finals series after the regular season finishes. The two teams who make the grand final play for the title. In Australia most sports have a grand final decider.
Melbourne City are playing in an elimination final tomorrow - if they lose they are out, if they win they play in the semi finals.

Good luck to them. I prefer the table toppers winning the league though.

And Union, the English Premiership has these stupid play-offs too.

Is a Melbourne derby likely to end in rampant violence or will they just crack open a few tinnies in the stands?  :D
