Sydney FC have had a perfect first month of the A-League season, but they will put that record on the line against long-time rivals Melbourne Victory in the highlight game of Week 5 of the season.
The Sky Blues have yet to concede a goal and have looked damaging in attack, scoring 11 goals in four games. They are now clear favorites for the A-League title, according to website Australian Gambling, which would be their first in seven seasons.
The Sydney-Melbourne Victory rivalry was heightened by their two clashes in Grand Finals (2015 and 2010) but has its foundation in the early stages of the A-League, when both had claims on being the league's biggest club.
