Head To Head
This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams.
Moreton City Excelsior Form
It's been an outstanding season for Moreton City.
Cameron Millar's side reached the Grand Final of NPL Queensland, where they were upstaged 1-0 by Queensland Lions on the weekend.
But perhaps more impressively, Moreton City have advanced into the Australia Cup quarter-finals for the first time, demolishing Campbelltown City 5-1 before recovering from a two-goal deficit to beat A-League side Perth Glory 3-2 in the R16.
Marquez Walters and Ben Holliday drew Moreton City level before Joseph Scott scored the winner in the 86th minute, sending the home fans into euphoric celebrations.
Melbourne Victory Form
Victory had a good season in the A-League last term, but they would have been hugely disappointed with how it ended, conceding in the final stages of the Grand Final against the Central Coast Mariners before collapsing in extra-time.
Turning their attention to capturing a third Australia Cup crown, Victory have been untroubled in reaching the quarter-finals.
Victory have scored four goals in both of their wins on the road, downing Lambton Jaffas 4-1 and NWS Spirit 4-0.
Nishan Vellupillay bagged a double in both wins for Victory and will again be dangerous in the last eight.
Verdict
Victory are obviously favourites and it would be a massive shock if Moreton City doubled down and knocked out A-League opposition in back-to-back rounds.
Moreton City can get on the scoresheet - they found the back of the net three times vs Perth Glory and have scored in 15 of their last 16 outings in all competitions. However, Victory are a class above and at this stage of the competition, they should prove too strong.
