Melbourne Victory is making the trip to Shepparton to face the Goulburn Valley Suns in the PlayStation 4 NPL2 West on Saturday.

On the back of a week off, Victory faces the Suns in Round 26, with only three matches remaining this season.

Victory has endured a rollercoaster past four outings with two wins and as many losses.

It crushed Box Hill United (6-3) and Bendigo City (5-2), but suffered narrow losses to Sunshine George Cross (2-1) and Werribee City (1-0).

Victory sits ninth on the table and faces a Suns outfit which is fifth in the PS4 NPL2 East.

Winger Nicholas Sette has led Victory, which has been particularly youthful in the second half of the season, on the goalscoring front with 10.

Victory has netted 28 of its 51 goals this season in the first half, while it has conceded 28 of 50 after the break.

Goulburn Valley and Victory last met in 2015, with the Suns claiming a hard-fought 2-1 win.
