Gambier Centrals v International
Inter will take on Gambier Centrals this week on Sunday at MGA Park, with the black and blue coming off a great 7-0 win against Naracoorte.
The visitors will be looking to play like that again this week, while after starting the season well Gambier Centrals picked up their first loss last week to Apollo.
Both sides have the same record with Inter sitting first and Centrals sitting second on the ladder.
Inter head coach Tony D’Agostino believes this match will be a tough one for his side.
“It’s a tough game, it always is, the battle of the top teams is always hard,” he said.
“I’m assuming they’re going to bounce back this week and they cannot really afford to lose points against us.
“We know it’s going to be a tough game and probably made more tougher because of their result on the weekend.”
Blue Lake v Apollo
Blue Lake will take on Apollo this Sunday, with Apollo having found good form recently and coming off a great win against Gambier Centrals.
Blue Lake is coming off the bye and will be fresh and ready to get the win and hold their place ahead of Apollo on the ladder.
Apollo will have to continue to defend well, as over the past two weeks they have only conceded one goal.
On the other hand, Blue Lake has not been the best defending team as they have conceded 10 goals already.
If Blue Lake wants to pick up the three points the side will need to rely on its goal scoring.
Apollo has not been the best goal scoring team, so if Blue Lake can get a few goals on the board early it will be hard for Apollo to make a comeback.

Blue Lake v Apollo
Apollo will take on Blue Lake in the top of the table clash.

Blue Lake will have to find their good play from the start of the season if they want to take down Apollo.
Blue Lake will have to make minimal mistakes in this game because if they mess up Apollo will make them pay for it.
Apollo will be favourites going into this game with Blue Lake likely trying to just come away with a point in this match up.
Millicent United v Naracoorte United
Naracoorte United will head to Millicent this week to take on Millicent United.
Naracoorte have not had the best start to the year as they have only picked up one point so far this season.
Millicent has flown under the radar so far this year, picking up a win and two draws.
Millicent will be expecting to pick up the three points at home in this match up given how well they have been playing lately.
After Naracoorte’s 2-all draw last week they will probably be happy if they get a similar result as last week.
