The Crows remain in fifth position on the Riverina Football League first grade ladder on 36 points, while the Hoppers are sixth on 32.
Coach Jade Hodge said the match was certainly fraught with danger, with Coolamon playing some good football in recent weeks.
Leeton-Whitton are coming off a loss to Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong last weekend and are eager to win their final home game of the season.
“We’re really going to have to be on our toes,” Hodge said.
“This week we should have Bryce O’Garey, Jimmy Nancarrow and Coopa Steele all back in the side.”
While the Crows will certainly be out to get another win on the board ahead of finals, the other focus will be fine-tuning their own performance.
“We can’t be worrying too much about what the other team is doing when we’ve got our own faults that we need to fix and work on,” Hodge said.

“Basically we need to be playing four good quarters of footy.
“I don’t believe we have done that all season, so now is the time to do that and be putting everything together.”
With just two rounds remaining in the regular season, every win from here on out is crucial.
The Crows will next week take on Turvey Park, but the group is yet to discuss finals.
“We’re not talking about that yet … first we need to make it, but you don’t want to get too far ahead,” Hodge said.
