Round two of the New South Wales campaign and the squads have adjusted from insights gained in the first match. Here's the ultimate Manly United - Sydney Olympic preview:
This football field has artifical turf, which is not Sydney Olympic's usual surface at their own stadium. When playing on artifical turf Sydney Olympic have performed like this: Played twelve matches producing 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats with the goal data 18-11 (scored/conceded).
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
