Preview: UNDERGROUND FC v West City

HEAD TO HEAD: First match

MISSING IN ACTION: With just 12 players available, it looks like it could be a long afternoon in the park for Underground FC. The team welcome back Byron de Beer and brother Tim after both were unavailable last week due to personal reasons. Work commitments see Anthony Cluley unavailable, while Joseph Cottle is also unlikely to feature on Saturday.

FORM: With just one win from four matches, Underground will have their work cut out for them. That win, a 3-2 win against Orcas 2013, now seems a distant memory as the orange-and-blacks look to avoid a drop from the second division.

What will please them, however, is the form of their opponent.West City have a win and a draw to go with three losses this season. This match is their final of the round and they'll be hoping for a big result to ensure they don't have to sweat on other results in the final round of action next week.

WE THINK: This is the defining match of the mid-season for both teams. The reward? An incredibly valuable six points that will see the victor move to fourth in the seven-team competition. The loser? Well, it'll be a long way out of the relegation zone for the team who is defeated on Saturday.

Underground's lack of numbers could be a concern, but with standout goalkeeper Andy Speir and a strong defensive unit they should do enough to hold on for a precious victory. UNDERGROUND BY 2
