Mooroopna will be desperate to continue its winning form when it travels across the causeway to play Shepparton United in a twilight fixture.
The Cats will be looking to bring up a rare feat of successive wins for the first time in a couple of seasons.
When these teams last clashed, the Demons got the four points after coming from behind.
Mooroopna was strong in its effort and its intensity at the contest was high last weekend against the Shepparton Swans.
They had to show maturity when it was challenged by the Swans during the premiership quarter.
Players to shine and looking to continue their good form are Trent Herbert, Trent Freer, Nathan Turner, Kai Madgwick, Ashley Thompson and Thomas Crosbie
United has had a tough season, but despite that there has been positives for the club with the number of youngsters who have been exposed to senior footy.
Jye Chalcraft, Daniel Bowles, Reid Crowe, Kyle Orchard, Harrison Osborn and Jack Caia will be looking to continue their good form.
The difference between these sides in the last meeting was Luke Lowden. The big ruckman booted a bag of goals, including three in the premiership quarter to get his team back in the contest.
If he plays he could prove a headache for the Cats.
Tip: Mooroopna.

United will face a fierce challenge from a Mooroopna team which still has a faint chance of featuring in the finals.
But for them to be any chance they need to win their final two games against the Deakin Reserve co-tenants, starting today and hope other results go in its favour.
Cats coach, Jenni McCluskey will no doubt be ruing the fact her girls have lost far too many close matches this year.
Had they turned at least three of those defeats into wins then they would have probably played finals.
There have been so many positives from the Cats this year and regardless of whether they qualify for finals it has been a success.
United will play finals and there is no doubt it wants to take winning form into September.
Di Hanslow will welcome the finish to the season which pits the Demons against two of the better teams to test their aspirations.
Tip: United.
