10 NPLNSW.COM.AU U20’S MATCH PREVIEW

ydney United 58 have their season back on Strack and are aiming for two wins on the bounce for the arrival of Marconi Stallions in Edensor Park this Saturday evening. The Reds snapped a six-match losing streak by defeating Sydney Olympic 3-1 last Saturday but know further improvement is required if United 58 are to contest for silverware this campaign. United 58 will enter the clash with Marconi four points adrift of fifth-placed Wollongong Wolves and face an uphill battle over the course of the next 11 rounds to return among the competition heavyweights. Their cause should be helped by the signing of former Rockdale striker Dimitrios Petratos, who netted a crucial goal on debut against Olympic last weekend. Prior to the victory over Olympic the Reds had scored just twice in five matches and will be hoping to rejuvenate their clinical edge in front of goal against Marconi, in which the likes of Petratos and Sam Perre should feature heavily. The visiting Stallions are searching for a much- needed win knowing anything less could see Marconi drop into last place. Nahuel Arrarte’s side have lost six of their last seven fixtures and have failed to score in three of their last four.
