A-League Round Ten schedule

  • Two matches still currently on the books this A-League men's round.
  • Two of those teams are playing their first A-League game of this calendar year.

Entering Round 10, Melbourne Victory top the league with 14 points while Brisbane Roar are bottom with a single point.  The game difference though, due to previously postponed games, does but the relative importance of this ranking in doubt until matches are caught up.  Some teams have played up to three more games than others.

Jets' Beka Mikeltadze and Victory's Nicholas D'Agostino are both top of the scoring charts, each having put in four goals apiece.  Victory's Marco Rojas is the leader for assists, having made assisted four goals this season.

Melbourne City announced on Friday that four of his players have contracted COVID-19 this week, but that the game would go forward.  Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar return to play for the first time this calendar year.
