Strikers and Lara battling to avoid relegation going into the last round.
Ballarat just has its nose in front – sitting one point ahead of Lara.
However, Strikers do have the tougher assignment. They are on the road to fifth-placed Melbourne Knights.
Ballarat will be encouraged that the Knights were held to scoreless draw by Preston, but there are sure to be plenty of nerves among the visitors and this might be telling.
Strikers know a win will mean avoiding relegation, but it will be playing on their minds that last time they met Knights won 6-0.
Anything less than a win and Lara will have plenty of incentive later in the day to succeed.
