Srbija are looking for a solid platform in 2026
With 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from their last 5 games, FC Melbourne Serbia (Srbija) enter Saturday's game in mixed form. The hosts have played much better since the end of last season however, and their recent 3-2 win away to Northcote City was followed by a slightly disappointing 0-1 loss to Manningham United Blues.
Srbija have been relatively solid at home in the NPL Victoria 2 2026 season so far, posting six wins, one draw and three losses from ten fixtures. Their home form has contributed to a solid mid-table position for Saturday's hosts, who sit in seventh with 29 points from 19 matches.
Sharks need to find their bite
A more pragmatic Port Melbourne Sharks SC have picked up just three draws and seven defeats from ten away games in NPL Victoria 2 2026, while their 0.10 goals per match average on the road suggests that their attacking options have been starved of oxygen outside of their home soil.
The visitors enter this match on the back of a 1-1 draw away to North Geelong Warriors, before being thumped 0-5 in their own home by North Sunshine Eagles SC. That kind of swing is a sure sign that the Sharks are in the midst of wobble.
Srbija should win, but Port Melbourne are tricky
Port Melbourne know how to get it done in this head-to-head, winning 1-0 at home in the last NPL Victoria 2 2026 game three months ago, but that's ancient history to the visitors, who are under a lot more pressure to turn the ship around in a rebuild season.
FC Melbourne Srbija are a compact and well-organised outfit, geared up for quick transitions and capable of using set pieces to their advantage. They can press high up the field and with enough intensity to cause their opponents to turn the ball over.
At the other end of the spectrum, Port Melbourne sit in a mid-to-low block and try to build from the back.
A game like this could be a battle of attrition if the Sharks hold their shape, but Port Melbourne were thumped 0-5 at home by North Sunshine Eagles SC. That's why we're taking Srbija to get it on Saturday.
