Last Time They Met
Round 6, 2008, at BT Connor Reserve
Preston Lions 1 South Melbourne 2
Two goals in two 2nd half minutes saw South take all three points after trailing at half time, continuing South's excellent record at the ground.
Preview
Preston are up against it at the moment. A coaching change which hasn't seemed to quite kick in yet. Sitting very close to that 4th relegation slot. But once again, the occurrence of another of those interminable 'derby' games comes along, which evens up the odds a little. South for their part has been improving on an almost weekly basis since Michaelokopoulos took over, and the return of Scot MacNicol has also done wonders, strengthening what was largely an ineffective midfield. But despite the steady improvement and decent recent run of results, South is still up against it to make the top six, and a win here is of the utmost importance. For Preston, the finals are gone, and avoiding relegation is the only goal, a task John Markovski has become used to in recent years. He managed to take the three points at the same ground last year in a similar situation with Sunshine George Cross, but this year's South's is a different proposition to the one that limped to the finish line last year, and it's hard to see Hellas getting beaten.
