SOUTH Melbourne will be desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top five after a horror run since its Singapore return on a catch-up weekend of the Victorian Premier League.
South has lost three of its last four, looking lacklustre and sluggish on the pitch.
They will be without captain Ramazan Tavsancioglu after his sending off last week as they welcome Altona Magic.
Magic has conceded 11 goals in two games and the defensive aspect of the game will be looked at again during the week.
Recruit John Thornley has been in good form up front, but the reigning champion sits last and is in desperate need of points.
In-form Heidelberg will travel to Bentleigh Greens with a winning putting it into a most unlikely of finals spots.
The Bergers have been flying after a horror start to the season.
Heidelberg has not lost since a 5-1 thumping at the hands of Northcote in round nine.
New front man George Slefendorfas has combined superbly with Saso Alexovski to head the strike force.
The pair has combined for eight goals this season.
The Greens had another game postponed last week due to a waterlogged pitch.
Bentleigh has performed above expectations this season and a win against United could see it move within goal difference of the top five.
