A 2-2 draw away before that, with Central Coast II the opponent.

Sydney II form and stats

Playing away, Sydney II have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 6 defeats in the New South Wales this season.

It's the second away game in a row for Sydney II, but there's smiles all around after the 4-3 victory versus St George City FA (placed 6th) last time out. As you can tell from the result, the match against St George City FA was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Blacktown City wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Observe that 9 of this club's 12 most recent league matches have ended with three or more goals.

Sydney II have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 14 goals have been scored. Sydney's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 23 goals from these trips.
