The Yoogali side starts a three-week home stint, and off the back of the 2-0 win over Weston Molonglo, will be looking to make the most of that advantage.
It won't be an easy couple of weeks, however, with the unbeaten Queanbeyan City next up after the Blues.
"I'd like to think that we could probably get some points this week and then see if we can knock off one of the top guns," Yoogali SC coach Sante Donadel said.
"It's good every once and a while to be the underdog, which we will be for the game against Queanbeyan.
"We are hoping that we will have players available this week, which is the main thing, but I don't think we are going to change too much from last week.
"We just have to get better at what we are doing.
"We are off the mark, but that doesn't mean anything. We just have to keep getting better every week, there is a lot of room for improvement."
Consistency is at the top of the list for the Yoogali coach of areas he'd like to see his side improve on.
"We are controlling the ball better, and last weekend we controlled the game a lot better, but it is just our concentration at the moment is probably key," he said.
"We are good for five or 10 minutes, and then we lapse for five or 10 as well. Consistency is the thing that we really have to work on.
"I think we have the players in the right positions and the combinations, so I'm pretty sure we have worked that out. Our front is probably the other area where we probably need to work a little bit harder."
