Natimuk United has improved in recent weeks, defeating Noradjuha-Quantong in round nine. The Rams are in 10th position with eight points on the league ladder.
Edenhope-Apsley is among the competition’s top teams and lies fifth on 24 points, equal with Kalkee.
The Saints recently recruited Timothy Mcintyre to the side.
McIntyre was playing in the South Australia National Football League.
The Saints also have Sean Butler joining the side for the second half of the season.
Coach Michael Rowe said McIntyre was a classy midfielder who would provide a level of insurance against future injuries.
“We’ll be wary of Natimuk coming off a win against Noradjuha-Quantong,” Rowe said.
“The game will be won or lost in the midfield. We just need to kick more accurately to go along with it.”
Cameron Domaschenz and Joshua Clissold are unavailable for Saturday’s game.
Under-17 gun Jack Wall has been sidelined with injury after making his senior debut for the Saints last week.
Natimuk United coach Nigel Sibson said his side was in a good mind frame for the game following the win.
