Blacktown City FC v Sydney FC
3:00 pm, Sunday 9 July, Landen Stadium
Blacktown City take on Sydney FC at Landen Stadium on Sunday pursuing their fifth victory in a row.
The side downed Sydney Olympic 3-1 last weekend with Travis Major, Jak O’Brien and Charles Mendy all finding the net.
Four successive wins have kept City just about in touch with the top sides in the competition, now only five points away from second place.
Sydney FC have also started to pick up form again following their 1-0 win against Sydney United 58 last Friday night.
Cameron Fong scored for the young Sky Blues just after the hour mark to keep the team in fifth.
Sydney FC are only one point behind Blacktown in the place ahead, however, the teams immediately below them are in touching distance.
It means that positions in the top places are still up for grabs heading into the final few games.
Jimmy van Weeren’s team edged out Blacktown earlier in the season with a 1-0 victory.
With so little between these sides in 2023, this is an exciting game and one not to miss in round 23.
