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.

This stadium uses artifical turf, unlike Sydney Olympic's home stadium. The visitors last 13 games on artifical turf have ended in 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
