ydney FC will be determined to replicate it’s Sfive goal haul against Parramatta FC from Round 2 when they host the bottom of the table side on Saturday. They young Sky Blues fought back from 2-0 down in that match to run away convincing winners and coach Robbie Stanton will have his sights set on a much improved performance this time around. Coming into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Rockdale City Suns, Sydney FC will need to rediscover their winning ways with midfielders Chris Zuvela, Christian Gonzales and Nikola Kuleski all expected to be key contributors. For Parramatta the match is a chance to rebuild morale after what has been a difficult season to date. A win on Saturday night would do wonders for the confidence of Parramatta FC’s players as they battle to avoid relegation.

10 UNDER 20s NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH

ydney FC will be hot favourites when Sthey host a Parramatta side hoping to avoid a seventh consecutive defeat when they arrive at Lambert Park for Saturday’s final fixture. The Sky Blues’ 2-0 defeat of Rockdale last weekend maintained what has been a remarkable defensive record for David Zdrilic’s men who have conceded just eight goals all season. The goals are also starting to flow with more regularity with John Iredale the key man up front for Sydney with five. Although Parramatta have sunk to the bottom of the table as a result of their horrid run the Melita Stadium outfit have not been comprehensively outplayed by their opponents throughout the run and have only been beaten narrowly by the likes of Sutherland and Sydney United 58. They’ll hope something will finally give this weekend as they look to drag themselves back off the foot of the table.
