(Reuters) - Melbourne City coach Aurelio Vidmar is hoping Saturday's 0-0 draw with derby rivals Melbourne Victory can bring an end to a poor run of form that has jeopardised his team's hopes of a place in the A-League finals.

City, the reigning A-League Premiers, have been the competition's dominant force in recent years, finishing on top of the regular season standings in each of the last three campaigns and appearing in four consecutive Grand Finals.
