Craziest scenarios possible:
In the battle for fifth: If Perth lose 1-0 to Sydney FC and Melbourne Victory win 9-6 against Brisbane Roar. Perth and Victory would be exactly equal on points, goal difference and goals for and against. Perth would win on a superior head to head record.
In the battle for 3rd and 4th or (4th and 5th If Perth win): If Wanderers draw 1-1 to Wellington and Adelaide Untied lose 6-0 to Melbourne City, United and Wanderers would be exactly equal on points, goal difference and goals for and against. Wanderers would win on a superior head to head record.
