SEM Phoenix v Melbourne United
Saturday 17:30 AEDT tip-off - SBS Viceland and SBS On Demand
1. Throwdown VIII
These fierce cross-town rivals are set to face off in a top-four clash that has massive playoff implication for both ball clubs.
2. Fumbling Phoenix
South East Melbourne have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are coming off really flat performance last week in a loss to Brisbane.
That run of poor recent form has seen the Phoenix drop to fourth spot, with Illawarra breathing right down their necks in fifth.
To make matters worse, the Phoenix are riddled with injury problems. Ryan Broekhoff is expected to miss a couple of weeks with a back injury and sharpshooter Cam Gliddon is also rumoured to have hurt himself at training this week.
