Avondale will be looking to claim their first win of the 2020 NPL Victoria season this Saturday night when they take on the Altona Magic at Stead Park in Geelong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Avengers will be looking to bounce back from a tough loss in their opening match, falling 3-1 to a strong Oakleigh outfit last week at Jack Edwards Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stung by injuries and disadvantaged further after having a player sent off mid-way through the first half, Avondale were simply outplayed by the Cannons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But despite the poor result, head coach Zoran Markovski believes his side can rebound this week against Altona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
