Fourth-placed Buln Buln will host fifth-placed Lang Lang in what shapes as an important clash for both sides in round 15 of Ellinbank District football.
The Lyrebirds, who face a significant percentage gap to the rivals above, need to collect the wins to keep in the running to secure the double chance.
The Tigers, meanwhile, have slipped to just one game clear of sixth-placed Ellinbank and will look to maintain a buffer with a difficult run home ahead.
A Lang Lang victory could push the gap back out to two games, should Longwarry take care of Ellinbank away from home.
The Crows current sit two games clear of third-placed Trafalgar and fourth-placed Buln Buln, and could go one step closer to securing their double chance.
Trafalgar could go one game clear in the top three should results fall their way.
The Bloods will travel to take on Nyora and while the Saints have been competitive at times, Trafalgar will start firm favorite.
Neerim-Neerim South should maintain their unbeaten status when they travel to Poowong.
Yarragon will look to secure their seventh win when they travel to take on neighbours Nilma-Darnum.
Bunyip will take on Catani with each side eyeing an opportunity for another win.
