Minyip Murtoa will be looking to secure its place in the finals with a victory against the Horsham Saints.

Fifth and seventh will go head to head in this Saturday's round of the Wimmera Football Netball League.

While Minyip Murtoa are fifth, they are on equal points with Dimboola but hold the advantage on percentage.

Horsham Saints are seventh, behind Dimboola, and are on 20 points.

The Burras had their last win on July 13, defeating the Thunder by just a couple of points, while the Saints are looking to break a four-game losing streak, with their last victory against the Demons, also by a couple of points, having come on July 6.

While the Burras' talent is more evenly spread, the Saints have had the likes of Mitch Martin, Keegan Mellington and Jackson Davidson leading the way week in, week out.

The last time the sides lined up against each other, it was the Horsham side that claimed the win: 12.7 (79) to 10.6 (66).

But there is more on the line this time as the competition reaches boiling point so expect the sides to be playing as such.
