To see Heart and Victory prepare for the derby...

A bumper crowd will welcome the two Melbourne clubs and Colosimo cannot wait to experience the occasion at AAMI Park.

"There's no doubt that there's rivalry between Victoria and NSW, Melbourne and Sydney, as you might put it. But this is true derby territory," he told Heart's official website.

Both teams need the three points as much as the bragging rights as they look to find some consistency.

The match could also provide a big shot in the arm for an A-League competition that has taken some knocks this year.

"All the other codes have finished so this feels like the real start of the season," said Colosimo.

As for those bragging rights, TAB Sportsbet have Melbourne Victory priced at $2.30 for the win with new boys Heart on offer at $2.85. The draw is $3.30.
