The season is still fairly new and the Npl Victoria table has to be read with caution. So far Dandenong City find themselves in 13th position and Dandenong Thunder are placed 11th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
