VPL 2 Men Match Preview: Round 10 at Nunawading City

Box Hill United heads to Mahoneys Reserve in Forest Hill where they will take on Nunawading City on Saturday afternoon.

Pythagoras go into the derby off the back of a 2-1 win over Doveton last Friday, with an opportunity to build on this form in an even and congested league table so far.

Nunawading City are currently in eighth spot on the league table, following an entertaining encounter last time out in a high-scoring 5-3 match with Brunswick Juventus.

Nunawading City players to watch:

Nunawading City have had an even spread of goal scorers so far in 2024, with two leading the way as crucial members of their side.

Alex Kubenko is up top with five goals in nine matches, with all of his goals coming within his last four appearances. He notably scored a hattrick back in Round 6, at home to Goulburn Valley Suns.

Alex Dimitriou is the second highest scorer with four goals in all nine appearances so far, who provided consistent returns towards the beginning stages of the season and looms as a constant threat.

Last time we met:

Box Hill United hosted Nunawading City in a Round 14 clash from the 2023 league season.

Pythagoras came out on top 2-1, as goals from Darby Dexter and Nick Weller helped seal the win, after it was level 1-1 at the break through Miguel Restrepo’s strike for the visitors.
