The Pumas go into the match undefeated after two rounds while the Magpies will also be full of confidence after their win against the reigning premiers at home on Saturday.
Wickliffe-Lake Bolac’s coach Joe Otto said he expected another tough match.
“We rate Moyston-Willaura and they have some really handy players in their team
“It was good to get a win last week against Tatyoon but it will take our best again to get over the line this weekend I think.”
The Magpies will be forced to make a change to their team after Adam Beattie got injured in the round.
“Adam did some ligaments in his ankle, so he will be out for 6-8 weeks but we have not settled on a replacement for him yet,” he said.
Otto said the team was also wary of Puma recruit Billy Laurie’s influence on the game, after starting the season in positive form.
“We will just go into it focusing on our own game, we will just have to take everything as it comes,” he said.
The Pumas have started the season in ripping form after missing finals in 2016 and the result of this match could prove influential in the make up of the top four at season’s end.
First bounce is set for 2.15pm
