The huge clash will be played in Bentleigh with the multi-million dollar redevelopment of Bob Jane Stadium taking place.

The Cannons suffered a surprise loss at the hands of Sunshine George Cross last week and will need to make the most of its opportunities in front of goal against South.

South was handed a 3-0 defeat by Richmond after its stunning six-goal win over Hume City in the previous round.

The clash in the middle of the park will be decisive with Carl Recchia, Daniel Vasilevski, Cameron Watson and Bill Damianos all fighting for supremacy.

Surprise packet Bentleigh Greens will host third-placed Hume City on Friday night.

The Greens are in fifth and can consolidate a position in the top five with a win over Hume.

The stunning start to the season has come thanks to young striker Damir Lokvancic who has scored four goals.

City bounced back from its horror appearance against South Melbourne with a 2-1 win over Altona Magic last week.

The return of player-coach Andrew Vlahos was welcomed while lively forward Richard Cardozo is returning to form.

The struggling Green Gully will host bottom of the ladder Heidelberg United on Saturday afternoon.

The Cavaliers have lost consecutive games and are in desperate need of a win to stay in touch with the top five.

A season-ending knee injury to striker Joel Nikolic in the pre-season has shaken Gully who has struggled to find a prolific forward target.

The Bergers are bottom with three points and are quickly losing touch with the rest of the competition.

A win is much needed if it is to survive in the top flight.

High-flying Sunshine George Cross will host the revived Dandenong Thunder on Monday night.

The Georgies have recorded consecutive wins over Gully and Oakleigh, moving just outside the top five.

The form of four-goal Kyle Joryeff has been sensational while youngster Evan Christodoulou put away the late winner last week.

The Thunder surged from the relegation zone to eighth after two-straight 1-0 victories.

Lively forward Joseph Di Iorio has been in super form, giving the side a huge spark in the attacking third.

Melbourne Knights will travel to the Trent Rixon-inspired Northcote City for Ladie's Day on Sunday.

City moved to seventh courtesy of a Rixon hat trick against Heidelberg last week.

The return of the skipper saw his side score five times after previously failing to find the net since Easter.

The Knights have become an unpredictable item in the league but will fancy themselves against the promoted City.

Newly led Altona Magic will welcome the second-placed Richmond to Paisley Park.

Magic parted with its coach during the week and now has Sash Becvinovski at the helm.

Goals and a win are needed for the reigning champion to move out of the relegation zone but its home form has been an issue, winless in four games.

Richmond is in fine form, producing some of the leagues best attacking play.

Forwards Daniel Visevic and Jesse Krncevic have been in sensational form.
