It was confirmed by Football Federation Australia tonight that Saturday's clash at Sydney Showground Stadium will not go ahead, due to concerns with the playing surface.
As a result, the likes of Michael McGlinchey and Andrew Durante - both who were set to miss the clash - will likely get to play when the match is re-scheduled.
The Head of the A-League Greg O'Rourke personally inspected the playing surface and considered it a potential safety risk to the players and match officials.
"We understand that the surface is presently going through a necessary seasonal transition from Rye [Winter] grass which has been sprayed out as per the annual schedule, to Couch [Summer] grass," said O'Rourke.
"Unfortunately some sections of the surface have not regenerated as hoped due to recent cooler weather and as a result the surface is not consistent to the standard we require in the A-League.
"We discussed this issue with both clubs, the venue and Fox Sports and we agreed to postpone the match to a later date."
A decision to when the match will be re-scheduled will be made in the near future.
