ydney FC play host to a rejuvenated Sydney SUnited 58 this week hoping to end the three- game winning streak of Mark Rudan’s side.
The young Sky Blues were shown up by APIA Leichhardt Tigers last round and will need a huge performance if they are going to beat United 58.
Robbie Stanton’s players will need to be on high alert for an in form Panny Nikas who has carried much of the creative and goal scoring burden for the Reds. There’s also been a resurgence of former Sydney FC defender Riley Woodcock who starred in United 58’s victory against the Wolves last weekend so keep a close eye on his exploits.
The fast and expansive game of Sydney FC has caught teams off guard before this season and it will prove to be their best weapon to secure all three points.

APIA Leichhardt Tigers FC 3 - Sydney FC 0 at Lambert Park APIA Leichhardt Tigers has returned to the winners circle with a comprehensive 3-0 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition win against Sydney FC at Lambert Park. In a match of end to end action, APIA looked in control for almost the whole 90 minutes with goals to Tasuku Sekiya, Sean Symons and Matthew West securing the result and all three points. It was a tough day at the office for Sydney FC who could not make the most of their expansive play and never truly looked threatening. The result gives APIA five wins from six starts and has the side firming as one of the PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s competition favourites.
Sydney United 58 2 - Wollongong Wolves 0 at Sydney United Sports Centre Sydney United 58 cruised to their third straight win with a 2-0 PlayStation®4 National Premier Leagues NSW Men’s victory against Wollongong Wolves at Sydney United Sports Centre on Easter Monday. A first half finish from Riley Woodcock and a thunderous shot from Panny Nikas secured the win for the Reds as the side continues its incredible form revival. Justin Pasfield was in great form for Wollongong between the sticks but his heroics could not save his side from defeat. It was another frustrating result for Wollongong who were unable to build on the momentum from last week’s win against APIA Leichhardt.

10 UNDER 20s NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH
ydney FC host Sydney United 58 in round S7’s match of the round at Lambert Park on Saturday afternoon, with both sides eager for a win to further consolidate their top six status. Sydney FC played here last week, drawing 2-2 with APIA Leichhardt, while Sydney United 58 arrive at Lambert Park after a 3-1 home win over Wollongong Wolves, a result which moved them up to second in the table. Should they win this weekend, the hosts would leapfrog Sydney United 58 into second – depending on results elsewhere – while the visitors cannot catch Sutherland in first this week; Sharks sitting four points clear of Sydney United 58 in second.
