The Cavaliers were too strong for Richmond last week with a 3-1 win after a disappointing loss to Hume in round one.

Cannons coach John Anastasiadis wants improvement from his side after last week's 2-1 win over Northcote City, getting over the line courtesy of a Jerry Karpeh brace.

Green Gully provided a demolition job the last time the teams met with a 4-1 victory.

Fellow Victorian powerhouse South Melbourne will want its first win of the season when it travels to Northcote City.

South has drawn both games this season, disappointingly not holding on to a 1-0 lead against a 10-man Bentleigh Greens last weekend.

They might regain experienced duo Carl Recchia and Joe Keenan after each gained match practice in return from injury in the Youth game last weekend.

Striker Fernando De Moraes may be ready for a starting role after coming on as a valuable substitute in consecutive weeks to score in both games.

City is without a point and will be glad to be at home for the first time this season.

Dandenong Thunder will be looking to bounce back from a 3-0 thrashing to the hands of Hume City last week against Richmond on Saturday night.

They will need to keep an eye on Richmond striker Daniel Visevic, who has scored in both games for his side this season.

Melbourne Knights and Sunshine George Cross will battle it out at Knights Stadium on Sunday night.

The Knights will want a good result after conceding two late goals to Heidelberg United last week and having to go home with a point.

George Cross is undefeated thus far after a strong win in round one and a scoreless draw with Altona Magic last week.

Both clubs play their home games at the venue, leaving each without a distinct "home" advantage.

Hume City will travel to Heidelberg United in search of another three points after a blistering start to the season.

They have won both games and would be top of the table if not for the three points deducted from them prior to the start of the season.

United will be glad to be home for the first time this season after a poor start in which they have scored just one point in two games.

The defence will need to tighten up after conceding six goals, while the exciting Osagie Ederaro will want to continue his goal scoring form that has seen him score in both games.

On Friday night, Bentleigh Greens play at home for the first time, coming off a solid start to the season with consecutive draws.

They play an Altona Magic side that conceded a late goal in round one and were unlucky not to pick up all three points against Sunshine George Cross last week.
