Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sorrento & Swan United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Western Australia FFA Cup Preliminary. All the pre-match information is available here!
The hosts Sorrento saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Npl Western Australia. That game was an away game at Armadale, so at least Sorrento are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Sorrento form and stats
Last season, Sorrento's Western Australia FFA Cup Preliminary journey ended in the 7th round.With 1 Npl Western Australia win, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Sorrento are certainly not brimming with confidence.
A strong away win for Sorrento against Armadale the last match.
Before that game, the home loss against Perth Glory II with the scoreline 2-3.Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Bayswater City are coming to town in four days.
Sorrento are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games.
Swan United form and stats
They also participated in Western Australia FFA Cup Preliminary last season. This ended in the 4th round.Swan United have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Western Australia State League 1, after 3-1-7 (11 played).
The regulars enjoyed Swan United's previous fixture versus Stirling Lions, a Western Australia FFA Cup Preliminary win (3-0) played at home.
Before that one, the victory at home against Shamrock Rovers Perth in the Western Australia FFA Cup Preliminary (2-0). As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Swan United's match history for similar games we find 6 matches. The home team won 5 of these as expected, 4 of them by at least two goals. Swan United managed 0 draws and 1 surprise win.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Swan United have scored 15 goals in 11 league games away. Swan United are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 15 goals in these matches.
