Top of the table AIPA Liechhardt Tigers host sixth placed Sydney FC U21s in the NSW Premier League. The home side have a four point lead at the top after 27 matches and look to get a third straight win. Two successive league games had been lost by the Tigers before a visit to Sydney Olympic.  They conceded an early goal but four goals from Jack Stewart helped them to a 5-3 victory. The goals continued to flow as they put four past Goulburn Valley Sports in their away Australia Cup tie. Stewart scored two more and must be worth an anytime goalscorer bet. AIPA have the best home record in the NSW Premier League with nine wins from their 13 games with two losses. Only eight goals have been conceded in those 13 games.

Sydney FC Under 21s are 17 points behind their opponents. They are sixth but that's mainly down to their home record and they have also won nine league games. On the road it's a different story though with only four victories, eight losses and 31 goals conceded. Only Bulls Academy who are 11 points adrift at the bottom of the table have conceded more on the road. Sydney have lost four of their last five away league matches with 16 goals put past them. The reverse fixture saw Sydney win 4-0 but we expect a very different story this weekend. Our tip is a home win for the Tigers.
