Melbourne Victory is back in action in the NPL2 West with a trip to Moreland Zebras on Saturday.
Victory suffered a heavy loss to league leader Altona Magic in Round 20.
A flurry of goals early in the second half hurt Victory, which had 18-year-old winger Yazid Said on the scoresheet.
Said’s goal was his third of the season and marked the second straight game in which he had scored.
Victory was left in seventh on the table after the loss, although it is only six points behind the third-placed Zebras.
Of Victory’s eight remaining matches this season, it will play six away from home, including the trip to CB Smith Reserve.
Victory has won four of its eight away outings this campaign, losing just twice.
The Zebras and Victory played out a 0-0 draw when they met in March.
