The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Green Gully are in the 9th position while the guesting Eastern Lions worry at 11th.
- Green Gully have yet to win a game at home.
- Eastern Lions have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
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!
