South Melbourne will host Green Gully at Bob Jane Stadium on Sunday with both teams desperate to kick start their seasons.

Gully failed to capitalise on a number of opportunities against Oakleigh last week and sit in sixth on the ladder.

South has played three draws to start the season, becoming a side capable of anything late in games.

Fernando De Moraes earned his first start last week, scoring his third goal in as many games this season.

The top of the table Oakleigh host reigning champion Dandenong on Friday night.

The Cannons played the two newly promoted teams to start the season and overcame Green Gully in round three thanks to Michael Curcija's winning goal.

They face a Dandenong team coming off consecutive defeats to the hands of Richmond and Hume City.

The Thunder has conceded seven goals this season, a contrast to the 21 conceded in 22 regular season games last year.

In what shapes as an entertaining Friday night, Richmond will host Heidelberg United.

Richmond sits third following a surprise 3-0 thumping of Dandenong last week on the back of a double from Jesse Krncevic.

Daniel Visevic could extend his tally of three goals against the competition's worst defence.

United has conceded nine goals and languishes on negative points in last position on the table.

Osagie Ederaro has been the shining light in a disappointing start to the season.

Hume City will look to continue its perfect start to the season when it hosts the Melbourne Knights on the same night.

City has been the most impressive team so far this season with three wins and a solid defensive unit led by Steven Pace.

The Knights should have won twice but have been unable to make the most of their opportunities.

They let a two goal lead slip at home to Heidelberg and failed to find the back of the net late in last week's game against Sunshine George Cross.

Altona Magic will want its first win of the season when it hosts Northcote City on Sunday.

Magic has had a slow start with two draws and a loss to begin its championship defence.

Northcote will feel aggrieved it failed to secure three points against South Melbourne last week.

Leading 3-1, City conceded two goals and let three points slip at home.

Striker Trent Rixon has been impressive with three goals to start the season.

Rounding off the round on Sunday night, Sunshine George Cross will host the Bentleigh Greens at Knights Stadium.

Both teams sit in the competition's top five, with the Greens coming off their first win of the season last week.

A goal from Damir Lokvancic proved to be the difference between the Greens and Altona Magic.

George Cross was lucky to escape with a point after the Melbourne Knights failed to find a winner last week.
