A 25,000 strong crowd is expected at Lang Park in Brisbane tonight for the A – League elimination final between the Melbourne Victory and the Brisbane Roar.

It promises to be a fiery encounter with former Roar favourite son Besart Bericha sure to cop plenty from the local crowd after Tuesday nights decision by the judiciary to reduce Berisha’s suspension, allowing him to take on the Brisbane side tonight.

Brisbane had a chance to progress to the final last week but failed to grab the required victory leaving defender Jade North (pictured) and his teammates with their destiny in their hands when they run onto Lang Park tonight.
