Only a few games have been played in the Npl Victoria so far, with Dandenong Thunder placed 11th and Bentleigh Greens sitting in the 5th position.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
