Melbourne Victory Women face Canberra United, aiming to extend their undefeated streak in the Ninja A-League Women.

Melbourne Victory Women are set to clash with Canberra United on Sunday, March 9, in the Ninja A-League Women. Following a thrilling 2-1 victory in the Westgate Derby against their rivals, Melbourne Victory is on a mission to secure the top spot in the league. Young talent Holly Furphy made headlines by scoring early in her first start, while captain Kayla Morrison sealed the win with a spectacular header.

Currently, Melbourne Victory boasts a remarkable seven-game undefeated streak, having triumphed in their last three matches at the Home of the Matildas. They have also conceded the fewest goals in the league this season. Alana Murphy returns to the squad after her debut with the Matildas in the SheBelieves Cup, adding depth to an already formidable lineup.

Canberra United, on the other hand, is riding high with an unbeaten run in their last six games, including a commendable 1-1 draw against league leaders Melbourne City. Experienced striker Michelle Heyman will be pivotal for Canberra as they aim to disrupt Melbourne Victory`s momentum. In the current standings, Melbourne City leads with 40 points, followed closely by Melbourne Victory with 35 points and Adelaide United with 33 points, while Canberra United sits in seventh place with 24 points.
