It's still early in the Npl Victoria season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Green Gully - Altona Magic preview!
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.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Green Gully form and stats
Green Gully have played three Npl Victoria home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
It's back home for Green Gully, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Oakleigh Cannons away with the result 3-0. Sensational by Green Gully last match, beating Oakleigh Cannons away as big underdogs. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Heidelberg United.
