Matchweek 17 of the 2020/21 A-League campaign begins in Parramatta and ends in Perth, with six fixtures filling the weekend schedule between April 16-18.
Western Sydney Wanderers host Brisbane Roar at Bankwest Stadium in the opening game of Matchweek 17, before the A-League heads to Tasmania on Saturday afternoon when Western United host Central Coast Mariners at UTAS Stadium.
The action then returns to Victoria where Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory will face off in the second Melbourne Derby of the season. Grant Brebner s Victory side is riding high after beating Newcastle Jets in Matchweek 16, and will be hoping to atone for a 6-0 defeat at the hands of City in Matchweek 11.
Mark Rudan takes his team to Tasmania in eighth position on the A-League table. A 3-2 loss to Wellington Phoenix in Matchweek 16 halted United s two-game winning streak, a place in the top six is not out of sight for a side with the least amount of games of any A-League side this season
Central Coast need a positive result to fend off a number of challengers closing in at the top of the table - the league-leaders have notched just one win in five games, and watched Adelaide United move to within one point of the league-leaders at the end of Matchweek 16.
