For the Goulburn Valley Suns an away trip to take on Kingston City is on the agenda.
It has been a difficult year for the Suns on the pitch, however with the all-important relegation play-off on the horizon, a good performance is a must.
Last time out the Suns suffered a narrow 3-1 defeat to Langwarrin and they will be hoping to build on this.
Saturday afternoon’s clash at Clayton South’s Grange Reserve will kick off at 4pm.
Meanwhile in the Central Victorian League, just two rounds of the regular season remain.
In the League One Men’s competition, the title is in sight for Shepparton South, with two wins all that is required to sew up the league premiership.
This weekend South will face off with Epsom away from home and as Tatura continues to build its goal difference, it is a must-win to avoid late-season drama.
For South’s title rivals Tatura, a difficult trip to Bendigo to take on the third-placed Eaglehawk could provide a tricky task.
An opponent that has troubled a number of sides in the competition this season, the match will provide a good test as the Ibises look towards finals or a potential South slip-up.
While now out of contention for a spot in the top two, Shepparton United’s game against Golden City also remains important.
Lewis Coyle’s side finds themselves in a race for fourth spot and nothing less than a win is required on Sunday.
United’s game will kick off at 3pm at Shepparton's McEwen Reserve, while Tatura and Shepparton South will travel away on Saturday evening, with 5pm and 6pm kick-offs respectively.
Across town the Shepparton Jaguars will take on Swan Hill in League Two Men’s competition, with kick-off at Tatura’s Howley Oval at noon.
Must-win: Tara Ambrosini and Shepparton United require a victory on Sunday to keep the title race alive.

Elsewhere Shepparton United’s League One Women’s team will play host to La Trobe University.
The second-placed United sits just two points behind the ladder-leaders in their competition, meaning every remaining game is a must-win if it is to finish on top of the ladder.
Sunday’s game at McEwen Reserve is due to begin at 11am.
Last but not least, Tatura’s League Two Women’s team will play host to Swan Hill as they look to secure first place on the ladder.
A win to the Ibises would lock in the league championship and after a cup final loss last weekend the side will be keen to bounce back, the game kicking off at Tatura’s Howley Oval on Sunday at noon.
