Last time they met:
Bentleigh Greens 3-1 Green Gully, Round 5

Green Gully squad from: Jem Berkant, Mitchell Bissinger, Ratip Cileli, Cameron Davies, Akim Abdul, Brent Fisher, Jeffrey Fleming, Sean Harding, Jason Hayne, Dilen Ibrahim, Daniel Jones, Osagie Ederaro, Matthew Sanders, Shaun Timmins, Andy Vargas (C), Rodrigo Vargas, Brian Vanega, Ardian Vuniqi, Kieran Gonzalez

Green Gully snapped its four-game losing streak last week and gained a huge confident boost, but will that be enough to see it overcome an in-form Bentleigh? The Greens are flying and will be hard to topple in this one.

Last round:
Pascoe Vale 2-2 Ballarat Red Devils
Melbourne Knights 0-1 South Melbourne

Form:
Ballarat Red Devils: WWLLD
South Melbourne: WWWWW

Last time they met:
South Melbourne 2-0 Ballarat Red Devils, Round 5

Ballarat Red Devils squad from: Aaron Romein, Tristan Romein, Daniel Tinker, Dane Milovanovic, Adrian Curtain, Nelson Salvatore, Michael Trigger, Dom Swinton, Charlie King (C), Danny O’Donnell, Daniel Firth, Bolish Salvatore, Pat Karras, Jai Cartledge, Steven Thomson, Simon Murphy, Jordan Franken

History will be made on Saturday when Ballarat plays its first home at its new multi-million dollar facility. Remarkably, South Melbourne is still yet to drop a point and will be favoured to spoil the Red Devils’ party. After a blistering start, Ballarat’s hectic travel schedule has caught up with it in the past fortnight, so it will appreciate being back at home.

Last round:
Hume City 0-2 Oakleigh Cannons
Melbourne Knights 0-1 South Melbourne

Form:
Hume City: LLLWL
Melbourne Knights: WLLLL

Last time they met:
Melbourne Knights 0-1 Hume City, Round 5

Hume City squad from: Chris Oldfield, Evan Alexandrow-Ridley, Izzy Erdogan, Shane Rexhepi, Baki Efe, Matthew Hennessey, Petar Franjic, Johnny Stojcevski, Jose Guerrero, Nick Hegarty (C), Kliment Taseski, Devon Bonne, Kaan Korkmaz, Aaron Turner, Joseph Franjic, Ali Turgut, Johnny Buceto, Nick Marinos, Samed Altundag, Richie Cardozo

Melbourne Knights squad from: Shayan Alinejad, Milan Batur, Adrian Barresi, Anthony Colosimo, Rodrigo Covarrubias, Marijan Cvitkovic, Ivan Grgic, Anthony Duzel, Antun Kovacic, Ante Kozul, Chris May, James McGarry, Michael O’Farrell, Damien Rastocic, Michael Simms, Ben Surey (C), Christopher Talajic, Sam Torrens, Tomislav Uskok, Daniel Visevic, Nikola Srbinovski, Chris Stefani, Christopher Talajic

It seems both Hume and the Knights have forgotten how to score, with just two goals scored between both sides in their past three fixtures. The Knights have played their last four matches and lost all of them, so a change of scenery could prove the tonic for a turnaround. Listen to the action on NPL VIC Live (details above).  

Werribee City v Goulburn Valley Suns

Last round:
Northcote City 4-1 Werribee City
Green Gully 2-1 Goulburn Valley Suns

Form:
Werribee City: WWLWL
Goulburn Valley Suns: LLLLL

Last time they met:
Goulburn Valley Suns 3-4 Werribee City, Round 5

Werribee City squad from: Steven Cudrig, Matthew Cundari, Milan Savic (C), Oliver Rowland, Tommy Dunn, Zois Galanopoulos, Nemanja Govedarica, Joshua Groenewald, Ryan Filipovic, Domenico Marafioti, Ray Markley, Damir Marusic, Daniel Petrov, Ivica Praiz, Anthony Ragusa, Daniel Sweeney, Simon Symeoy, Bobby Vidanovski, Simon Zappia

Goulburn Valley Suns squad from: Nick Kalafatis (C), Craig Carley, Naum Sekulovski, Kristian Sarkies, Stipo Andrijasevic, Hernan Espindola, Fahed Alghazaly, Daniel Chaabani, Rudy Saglam, Ben Clarke, Zac Paraskevas, Josh Glover, Phillip Petrovski , Riley Hamilton, Cody Sellwood, Tom Langman, Anthony Calandro, Frankie Lagana

Can the Suns finally grab a breakthrough win? Five of their six losses have been by just one goal, and normally that goal has been conceded late. When these two sides met on Easter Sunday eve, Werribee prevailed in a seven-goal thriller but will need to bounce back after its worst performance of the season last week.

Northcote City v Port Melbourne Sharks

Last round:
Northcote City 4-1 Werribee City
Port Melbourne Sharks 0-4 Heidelberg United

Form:
Northcote City: LLWWW
Port Melbourne Sharks: LDWLL

Last time they met:
Port Melbourne Sharks 0-1 Northcote City

Northcote City squad from: Chris Theodoridis, Luke Gavalas, Adrian Chiappetta (C), Kristian Konstantinidis, Tremayne Sadler, Ersin Kaya, Steve Sifinos, Metekan Yilmaz, Benjudah Fitzpatrick, Philip Petreski, Josh Hiles, Jonathan Munoz, Marino Gasparis, Greg Lombardo, Trent Rixon, Aaron Ward, Jonathan Bounas, Liam Wooding, Michael Catalano, James Kalifatidis, Wade Dekker

Port Melbourne squad from: Luke Prelevic, Stefan Nigro, Lisandro Paz, Andrew Milicevic, Nick Krousouratis, James Riccobene, Connor Redden, Kamal Ibrahim, Amadu Koroma, Andrew Viola, Nick Tzoulis, John Lazaridis, Phillip Riccobene (C), Chris Grossman, Adam Hrehoresin, Kevin Braniff, Lambros Honos, Alexander Connell, Aaron Maclean

Northcote City is looking ominous again. After three losses to open the season, it has bounced back with three wins and conceded just one goal in the process. The story isn’t the same for Port Melbourne, which has fallen away badly in the past fortnight. To make matters worse, the Sharks have a poor record against Northcote City in the top flight and will be without the suspended Alessandro Venezia.

Pascoe Vale earned its first NPL win against this very opponent two weeks ago, but that win has sparked Heidelberg United into action. The Bergers are one of the form teams of the league and former Melbourne Victory player Daniel Vasilevski has been one of the men leading the charge.
