We said: Melbourne City 2-1 Melbourne Victory

City are in better form ahead of this clash and their record at AAMI Park has been impressive, so expect to see them put in a strong performance this weekend. That being said, Victory showed great character to come from behind against the regular season's strongest team in the semi-final, and they could pose a threat to their Melbourne rivals on Saturday.
