COMEBACK: Long road to recovery a 'real struggle' for Roar star Raso
Melbourne City’s hopes of a historic ‘four-peat’ will go on the line when they travel to Wollongong to face Sydney FC on Thursday night.
Adelaide United cannot make the finals when they host Brisbane Roar, who can still finish atop the ladder, on Friday.
The second part of Friday’s double-header will feature top of the table Melbourne Victory who will be looking to claim the Premiers Plate when they make the long trip West to face Perth Glory.
Finally, on Saturday, two teams playing for pride will face off when Newcastle Jets welcome Western Sydney Wanderers to No. 2 Sportsground.
Sydney FC v Melbourne City
Thursday, 7:30pm AEDT
It is fitting that the re-match of last year’s Grand Final will decide the fate of the defending Champions City.
Sitting in fifth place, the Melburnians must come away with all three points if they harbour any ambitions of going for a fourth consecutive title.
Key to that will be Lydia Williams in goal, while Elise Kellond-Knight and Tameka Butt must control the midfield to give City their best possible chances.
They come up against a Sky Blues side littered with Westfield Matildas and still in the running for the Premiers Plate.
They boast Alanna Kennedy, Chloe Logarzo, Princess Ibini, Caitlin Foord and Lisa De Vanna.

Adelaide United v Brisbane Roar
Friday, 7:30pm AEDT
After a mixed start Brisbane have stormed back to proudly sit equal first on the Westfield W-League ladder.
The Reds meanwhile started well but have been pegged back and now languish in sixth spot, unable to reach the last four even with a win on Friday night.
It could be the last chance for Adelaide striker Michelle Heyman to show what she’s made of ahead of the World Cup while Katrina Gorry, Clare Polkinghorne, Hayley Raso and Mackenzie Arnold will all be determined to do everything they can to give the Roar a chance at nabbing consecutive Premiers Plates.

Perth Glory v Melbourne Victory
Friday, 10:00pm AEDT
While solid for much of the season, Perth have stumbled in recent weeks and are now in danger of dropping out of the top four altogether if results conspire against them this weekend.
A win over the first-placed Victory would render those matches irrelevant and the home side will need marquee Sam Kerr to step up against a visiting side featuring Laura Alleway and Emily Gielnik.

Newcastle Jets v Western Sydney Wanderers
Saturday, 7:30 AEDT
Both these sides would have hoped for much better Westfield W-League campaigns but will have to put it behind them as they play for pride with one game remaining.
The Jets have been hard done by, losing Westfield Matildas pair Emily Van Egmond and Larissa Crummer to confound their issues.
There will be one Australian international on the pitch however with Gema Simon out to ensure the Jets’ final outing is a happy one.
