14 UNDER 20s NPLNSW.COM.AU MATCH

fascinating top of the table clash between fourth- Aplaced APIA Leichhardt and second-placed Sydney United will take place at Lambert Park on Saturday evening with both sides looking to keep pace with competition leaders Sutherland Sharks.

APIA Leichhardt assumed top spot in first grade last week and the U20s will have serious designs on maintaining their place at the right end of the table having won five of their last seven. The Tigers haven’t been as consistently sound defensively as their United 58 opponents so far this campaign but only Sutherland (36) have scored more than Michael Urulako’s men (28) who have also kept two consecutive clean sheets, a record that will boost their confidence ahead of the weekend’s fixture.

The second-placed Reds come into the affair in similarly impressive form and already hold one victory over APIA this campaign following their comfortable 2-0 win in round one. United 58 have shown great balance across the pitch and boast the equal best defensive record in the competition with only eleven goals conceded: they will have every chance at making a statement by holding off their free-scoring opponents and coming away with an upset victory at Lambert Park.
