Adelaide United host rivals Melbourne Victory in the FFA Cup on Wednesday night, with the visitors likely to bring good travelling support.

The two clubs are old foes, having faced off in two grand finals in the A-League's every years, both won by Victory, including the 6-0 thrashing inspired by Archie Thompson's five goals.

There's been spotfires along the way, including the infamous Kevin Muscat-John Kosmina altercation.

Here FTBL takes a look back at the rivalry, from a fan's perspective, with the supporters regularly crossing the border to provide strong travelling support.
