Season ticket holders at Cromer Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Manly United languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Sydney Olympic will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only two days ago in the New South Wales.
4-1-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Sydney Olympic when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 14-17 (scored/conceded).
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

1-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the New South Wales numbers at home for Manly United, who have the most clean sheets (3) at home in New South Wales, so far this season. Manly have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Stress levels are on the rise for Manly's attacking players as they have now played 271 minutes without scoring in a league game. Y. Perkatis (own goal) was their last goal scorer.
No payout for Manly in their previous match, an away game at Sydney United that ended in defeat 0-2. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Western Sydney W. II.
