One south west club only has a home game in round 16 of the competition this weekend.
Bonnyrigg White Eagles host Sutherland Sharks tonight at Bonnyrigg Sports Centre. Kick off is 7.30pm.
Sydney United 58 FC travel to Parramatta for their clash tonight, while Marconi Stallions will cross the Harbour Bridge tomorrow to take on Manly at Cromer Park.
The White Eagles slugged it out with Blacktown City last weekend and it is clear they will be one of the teams to watch come the end of the season.
Brian Brown’s side always go on a run at this stage of the season and with Yuta Kokado looking settled and Mun Soo Gil having a good season alongside Ray Miller in the centre of the park, the White Eagles are as dangerous a side as any.
They host a Sutherland Sharks side which can smell a finals position on the back of United 58’s capitulation and their own good form.
The Sharks know a win or a draw here will keep them within striking range of the Reds, as they look to play finals football once again.
♦ Across town, Parramatta FC will not want to be too kind as hosts against struggling Sydney United 58 FC.
The Eagles sit second from bottom but this fixture is a massive banana skin for United 58, who are coming off a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of South Coast Wolves.
Parramatta will back themselves to cause an upset, and if they do, United 58’s finals chances will take a big hit. The Reds will also be keen to stay focused and avoid having one eye on the Waratah Cup Final the weekend after this.
