The Reds are coming off a thumping 5-1 victory against Goldfields rivals Bendigo City FC over the weekend which included an inspiring second half hattrick from Simon Murphy.
The side will make the three hour trip on Saturday, and have included youngsters Dejan Mitrovic and Jake Francis in the squad after the pair impressed in the under 20 competition.
Reds coach James Robinson said the pair’s selection showed that “age is not a factor” in choosing the starting 11.
The side’s confidence will be bolstered coming into the contest with two Reds players being named in the NPL2 West’s side of the month.
Attacking midfielder Michael Trigger was rewarded for his heroic clean sheet as temporary goalkeeper against Melbourne City, while Pat Karras earned a nod for his efforts in defence.
