The Thunder bring with them an impressive record of 12 wins, five draws and just two losses.
Their latest was a 4-2 triumph over Box Hill United last week.
Brandon Barnes shapes as a potential thorn in Bendigo City's side, with the Thunder striker leading the east division with an impressive 24 goals this season.
Fellow Thunder star Simon Colosimo has seven, with both he and Barnes entering in good form after finding the back of the net once each last week.
For Bendigo City, a win is a must if the club is to keep its faint hopes of avoiding relegation alive.
City has just eight rounds to eat into second-last placed Werribee City's 21 point lead on the championship table.
That task has been made harder by the Bees showing some impressive second half of the season form.
