Rochester must rebound from a heavy defeat to keep its top six aspirations well and truly on track.
The Tigers suffered a fate that many have suffered against Kyabram this year, but remain in the box seat to secure the last spot in the top six as it sits four points and percentage clear of arch rival Echuca.
On the other hand, Euroa has been one of three teams to push Kyabram.
The Magpies had a confidence boosting win against fellow premiership contender last weekend.
Coach JD Hayes would have been delighted with the fight, grit and character his troops showed in the last quarter as Shepparton stormed home.
Jacob Gleeson, David Mole, Will McFarlane, Andrew Bell, Jett Trotter and Trent Storer stood tall in that final term and Hayes will be looking to them along with Nathan Gilliland and Andrew Tarrant to fire to get the four points.
The positive for James Flaherty is his boys get to forget last weekend and focus on today’s challenge against Euroa.
He knows they can’t play any worse and he will hoping the likes of Wil Hamilton, Mitchell Bright, Xavier Hooppell, Bailey Wileman, Leigh Millard and Jaycob Dingwall can continue their good form.
Tip: Euroa.
