The league's frontrunners clash at Tonga Park today in what could be an early preview of the season final.
Caversham and Dunedin Technical both have an unfaltering focus on winning and the sparks should fly in front of what is expected to be a large and vocal group of spectators.
Caversham has a wealth of experience in its former Otago United players James Waggett, Tim Horner, Rhys Henderson and Mike Smith, while Technical has more tyros, in youngsters Hayden Gunn, Matt Joy and goalkeeper Cameron Burns.
Midfielder Andy Coburn's class was recognised recently with his inclusion in an All Stars side to play a World Cup warm-up match against the All Whites on May 9.
Striker Aaron Burgess, who is making his way back from injury, is unlikely to play a full game, which will place some pressure on young Mike Still.
At the Caledonian Ground, in what is expected to be another tightly-contested match, University and Queenstown Rovers face off.
Both sides are even on the table, both lost 3-2 last week, and both are desperate not to be left behind in the race for a top-four position.
Mosgiel may not be at full strength against Northern at Memorial Park after both Mike McGarry and Mike Abbott were sent off in last week's spiteful match in Invercargill.
Losing two such experienced players will test Mosgiel's depth, especially against a Northern side that is bursting with energy and is on a high after beating Varsity last week.
Grants Braes is a much-improved unit this season, and held Dunedin Technical scoreless for an hour last week. The return of Liam Lockhart after two weeks off with concussion will give coach Alan Laidler more options against Spirit FC, which earned its first FPL win last week in Invercargill.
At Ellis Park, Roslyn-Wakari plays Green Island, which recorded its only win in the first round.
The ability to finish in front of goal has been a problem for both sides, with substitute Damian Foster rescuing his side with a late header last week.
