This week, Olympic face a test away at Ballarat City.

Yarraville’s downward spiral shows no signs of stopping. The historic Doxa are struggling to pick up points, now languishing in 11th, deep in the relegation zone. Last weekend, they fell 3-1 at home to Ballarat City. This week, they’ll face a tough trip to Keilor Park.
