Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Manly United in 7th and Sydney Olympic in 5th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Manly United and Sydney Olympic.

This pitch has artificial turf, which is not Sydney Olympic's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artificial turf Sydney Olympic have performed like this: Played six matches resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats with the goal stats 7-10 (scored/conceded). This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.

Manly United form and stats

4-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for Manly United so far this season. Manly United has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Manly United, their manager and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Manly United crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Sydney Olympic here at Cromer Park in a New South Wales match. Preceding that match was the home game against Sutherland Sharks that was lost 0-5.

Manly United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 11 goals in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
