National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Peninsula Power or Wellington Phoenix that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Peninsula Power form and stats
Peninsula was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Australian Cup.With 2 Npl Queensland wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Peninsula Power are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Peninsula Power haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 211 minutes ago. Kljajic scored that one. Nothing to worry about in defence for Peninsula Power, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 276 minutes in the Npl Queensland.
The Peninsula coach Philp and his pawns return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Gold Coast Knights.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Rochedale Rovers that ended 0-0.Peninsula Power are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games.
