Only a few games have been played in the Npl Victoria so far, with Oakleigh Cannons placed 3rd and Altona Magic sitting in the 13th position.
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.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Oakleigh Cannons form and stats
Seven points from three Npl Victoria home games is a great start for Oakleigh Cannons, who are hoping to build on that form here at Jack Edwards Reserve.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus South Melbourne in the Npl Victoria last time out and are looking for a win here. Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Heidelberg United.
The Oakleigh Cannons manager has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. On the other hand, Oakleigh Cannons have conceded 3 goals.
Altona Magic form and stats
It's not happening yet for Altona Magic on their Npl Victoria travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Recent form does not give Altona Magic much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Oakleigh Cannons will be a tough nut to crack. Altona Magic has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Altona Magic, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Heidelberg United (placed 5th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Avondale Heights.
It's early days yet, but Altona Magic has scored 1 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
