Blacktown City FC v Sutherland Sharks FC, Sunday 3pm at Lily Homes Stadium 

Blacktown City will be out to mark captain Matt Lewis’s 300th game with a win when they host Sutherland Sharks at Lily Homes Stadium on Sunday.

City’s veteran star has been at the core of the club’s success over the past decade and it has been Lewis’ goals which helped Blacktown to back-to-back wins to start this campaign.

Blacktown have been difficult to breakdown and have made the most of limited chances going forward.

The Mark Crittenden coached side are well disciplined and will give the Sharks very little.

Even though City went into the year minus a few big names with Joey Gibbs signing overseas and Daniel Araujo suspended, Crittenden has been able to marshal his squad very well.

Their opponents Sutherland have had a harder start to the 2020 season with a loss and a draw from their two games.

They did well too bounce back with a draw last week against Rockdale after being thrashed by Marconi in the opening round.

New club captain Blake Powell showed off his clinical finishing skills against Rockdale and will be very dangerous if given chances.

Dutch defender Joey Groenbast is starting to find his feet and has shown flashes of what he is capable of.

Sutherland will need to score early and force Blacktown to fight their way back. But if they don’t, Blacktown will be more than happy to grind out another win with their suffocating defence.
