Only a win will satisfy Heidelberg United supporters in this clash with Kingston, having a healthy lead in the Npl Victoria table.
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. This pitch has grass, which is not Kingston's usual surface at their own ground.

It's quite the trip for Kingston when visiting Heidelberg United as the cities are 3900 kilometers apart.
