PAST MEETINGS
Round one: South 3 (McGuffie 3) def United 1 (Rawson) at McEwen Reserve
Round 13: United 4 (Rawson 2, Beer, Dimstas) def South 1 (Beth Kilmartin)
Case for United: Looked more committed last time the teams met and was threatening from corners as well as being quicker through the middle.
Case for South: Leanne Rawson missing does take pressure off its backline with aerial balls. Will do well if players like Findlay, McGuffie and Grace Zito can create space in the attacking half.
Prediction: United 2-1
