Our second half continues with the toughest away assignments in the competition. Sydney United 58 are traditionally formidable on their home ground, thriving on physicality, intensity, and crowd energy.

Last season’s narrow 2-1 defeat showed the fine margins between the sides, and the Sharks arrive determined to flip that result. The focus will be on weathering the early pressure, controlling key moments, and growing into the contest.

A disciplined performance in a hostile setting would set an immediate benchmark for the season ahead and signal that we are prepared to compete anywhere in 2026.
