The Warriors have all but ensured the minor title and a place in the grand final already, while the maroons have looked the next best all season.
The two sides have shared the spoils so far in 2017-18 too, with Cavaliers taking the honours in round four and Orange City bouncing back in round nine.
Both sides boast plenty of firepower as well, Orange City with the likes of in-form stars Taylor Beatty, Jackson Coote and Shaun Grenfell and Cavaliers with Josh Doherty, skipper Matt Corben and veteran spinner Brad Wright.
A win would guarantee Cavaliers a place in the finals too leading into their final round bye so, with all things considered, all signs point to a blockbuster penultimate round contest at Wade Park.
Meanwhile, at Kinross Main Oval, Centrals have the chance to catapult themselves back into the top three against Kinross.
The red and blacks trail third-placed CYMS, who have the bye and receive zero points from it, by 8.64 points so a first innings victory with a couple of bonus points will lift the red and blacks into third.
An outright victory would push them well in front and would be the ideal result, considering Centrals play competition leaders Orange City in the final round while CYMS play the students.
The first day of both super important fixtures kicks off at 1pm, both clashes continue the following week.
