In total they scored 53 and conceded {45 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 4 and lost 3 with 29/21 goals scored/conceded.

Sydney are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the match against Mt Druitt Town (placed 15th). An insane game with heaps of goals last time out for Sydney II, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fun game, will this game be as gleeful?

Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Mt Druitt Town.
