Peninsular Power vs Sydney United Prediction
This will be an interesting game, with both teams looking to make it to the semi-finals of the competition. It's always a great achievement for a National Premier League team from any of the provinces to make it to the semifinals.
Sydney will be desperate to progress further in the competition, especially after losing the Waratah Cup final to the New South Wales Spirit earlier in August.
It will be an exciting game with a great chance of another penalty shootout ensuing. A draw is on the cards, with Sydney to take another win on penalties.
