Coach Patrick Kisnorbo quickly made his mark with a 7-match unbeaten streak after taking over Sydney FC in March. However, they missed the opportunity to win their sixth A-League title in history when they lost to Auckland 0-1 by Cameron Howieson's only goal.
Sydney FC returned impressively in the round of 32 of the Australian Cup when defeating Bayswater City 5-1, in which Tiago Quintal scored a hat-trick. Although it will not be until mid-October to enter the new A-League season, the representative of New South Wales province sees the confrontation with Tottenham as a valuable opportunity to test their ability against a top European opponent.
The home team at Allianz Stadium also needs to improve their home record when they have gone through 6 consecutive matches without knowing the taste of victory in all competitions, with the last victory here being in February against Brisbane Roar.
On the other side, Tottenham is having a fairly smooth season preparation process under Roberto De Zerbi. The Premier League representative has successively defeated MK Dons and Auckland, scored 3 goals and kept a clean sheet in the last 2 friendly matches.
Tottenham is having a vibrant summer with a series of new signings. After a disappointing 2025-2026 season in the Premier League, the London team aims to rebuild their force and regain their position under De Zerbi's leadership.
The match against Sydney FC will be an opportunity for the Italian strategist to continue testing the squad before the season officially kicks off.
