Tottenham continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Sydney FC at the Allianz Stadium on Wednesday morning.
Spurs have won both their pre-season friendlies so far against MK Dons and most recently against Auckland FC.
Meanwhile, Sydney have already started the new season with a 5-1 thrashing of Bayswater in the domestic cup, but are yet to play a game in the A-League.

Sydney FC vs Tottenham — Tale of the Tape
| Sydney FC | vs | Tottenham |
|---|---|---|
| 5th (A-League) | Position | 17th (Premier League) |
| 39 | Points | 41 |

After finishing fifth in the A-League table last season, Sydney qualified for the play-offs.
However, they were denied what would have been a sixth Australian top-flight title in the final by Auckland, who won 1-0.
Incidentally, Tottenham also played Auckland in a recent pre-season friendly, but ran out 2-0 winners.
Patrick Kisnorbo's side do not have any fresh concerns in the squad, so we can expect a strong starting XI.
Unfortunately, Roberto De Zerbi does not have that same luxury with Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski all long-term injury absentees.
However, he can call upon a number of new signings this summer, including big-money additions Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.
After back-to-back 17th-place Premier League finishes and an almost unthinkable relegation, Spurs have rebuilt in the window, and will look to kick on this season.
They have looked solid in pre-season so far, and should possess too much quality for Sydney.

Whispers predicts: Sydney FC 0-2 Tottenham
Tottenham are overwhelming 36/100 (1.36) favourites to win, but while we side with the bookies, we would like to pick out some more ambitious odds.
BTTS – No at 31/20 (2.55) certainly appeals as an opening bet, given Tottenham's last three wins have all been accompanied by clean sheets.
Under 2.5 goals at 13/5 (3.60) also holds great value in our eyes, with four of both teams' last five games producing two or fewer goals.
For a safer bet though, Richarlison to score anytime at 4/5 (1.80) has a decent chance of coming through, with the Brazilian on target against Auckland and fighting with Dominic Solanke for a starting spot up front.
Overall, we are predicting a 2-0 Tottenham victory, which is available at 9/1 (10.00).
> Richarlison to score anytime at 4/5 (1.80) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – No at 31/20 (2.55) | Likelihood: Possible
> Under 2.5 goals at 13/5 (3.60) | Likelihood: Possible
