Sydney United form and stats
As mentioned below, Sydney United are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 New South Wales games.
The fans are hoping that Sydney will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the New South Wales game against Marconi Stallions (placed 6th). Ahead of that match, Sydney won a home game hosting Blacktown City (4-1).
Sydney United has scored 9 goals so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
North Shore Mariners form and stats
North Shore Mariners are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the New South Wales, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).
It's the second away game in a row for North Shore Mariners, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Wollongong Wolves (placed 11th) in the New South Wales last time out. A draw for Mariners before that, at their own venue hosting Marconi Stallions (3-3).
The end of the last match, against Wollongong Wolves, was very satisfying as Lautaro Ríos scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Mariners are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). Mariners struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
