Premiers Melbourne will face fierce rivals Adelaide at Hindmarsh Stadium in the A-League major semi-final first leg on February 7 after the draw for the finals was released on Monday. 

In a replay of the 2007 grand final won 6-0 by Victory, Adelaide will then head to the Telstra Dome for the return leg the following Saturday, with the winners to qualify directly for the decider.

The winners of the major semi-final will host the grand final.

Melbourne and Adelaide both finished the regular season on 38 points, with Victory taking the premier's plate for the second time in four years on number of goals scored, banging in 39 to Adelaide's 31.

In the minor semi-final first leg, fourth-placed Central Coast will welcome third-placed Queensland Roar to Bluetongue Stadium on Friday, February 6.

The Queenslanders will then host the Mariners in the return leg at Suncorp Stadium seven days later.

The losers of the major semi-final will host the preliminary final on February 21 against the winners over the two legs between Queensland Roar and Central Coast.
