The last time they met just a goal separated the pair, the Corowa-Rutherglen combine prevailing 3-2.
Experienced coach Ben Kemp will have learned his lessons and is expected to really extend their undefeated opposition.
Magpies have Scott Foley as goalkeeper who is in top form.
The experience of Joel Shepherd and Simon Wright form a solid platform, while Ben Allen, Jeremy Maggs and English import Luc Hinton are dangerous up front.
United will treat this game as a real test and should lift.
National talent program player Dylan Martin, unavailable last week, will be a valuable inclusion.
Magpies could spring a surprise if they keep to the team tactics developed by Kemp.
In other men’s games, Wodonga, playing at home with top goal scorer Josh Pritchard and developing Ethan Albon, should prove too strong for Falcons.
Wombats, with top goalscorer Aiden McMillan, should be too good for the capable Norths.
The form of Ian Beath and Shaun Day could be the catalyst for a most unlikely upset.
In the women’s games, premiers Norths will look to get back to the winning list after two losses on the trot.
They should have too much firepower for the improving Wombats.
Wodonga after their big win last week over Premiers Norths will also test Falcons.
United will look to atone after their first loss of the year last week but that won’t be an easy task against a Magpies team with Sam Daly, Erin McNair, Maddy Knight and Ash Gould.
