Everything you need to know about Sydney FC vs Tottenham: Where to watch, team news and predicted line-ups

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham will hope to make it three wins from three at the start of their 2026 pre-season schedule when they take on Sydney FC on Wednesday.Tottenham have made it 2 wins from 2 in pre-season so far, first beating MK Dons 1-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Hotspur Way before travelling to Australia and New Zealand and recording a 2-0 victory over Auckland FC on Sunday.One striker from each half found the net in New Zealand, with Dane Scarlett opening the scoring before Richarlison wrapped things up after the break.Having described the Auckland clash as ‘a chance for the younger players’ before kick-off, De Zerbi made good on his promise by fielding a side made up largely of academy prospects and squad players, explaining he wanted to protect his senior stars following the long journey down under. Sydney FC also began their preparations for the new campaign with victory, comfortably beating Australian second-tier side Bayswater City SC 5-1. That result came after a disappointing end to last season, when they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Auckland FC in the A-League Grand Final back in May.Credit: @izzzyreyes)What time does Sydney FC vs Tottenham kick off?Location: Sydney, AustraliaStadium: Allianz Stadium, SydneyDate: Wednesday, 29 July 2026Kick-off time: 10:45am BSTWhere to watch Sydney FC vs TottenhamThe match will be available to watch live on SPURSPLAY, although a subscription is required and availability remains subject to your region.Supporters who miss the live action will be able to catch highlights on SPURSPLAY shortly after full-time, while the club will also upload them to their official YouTube channel a few hours later.Tottenham’s official social media accounts will also provide clips and updates from the match throughout the 90 minutes.Spurs team newsMateus Fernandes was the only one of Tottenham’s six summer signings to feature against Auckland FC, while Sandro Tonali, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka all missed out, but are expected to feature in Sydney.Marcos Senesi remains the only summer arrival not to have travelled with the squad after representing World Cup finalists Argentina, while Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr have also been granted extended leave after their World Cup commitments.James Maddison and Destiny Udogie were also absent against Auckland after picking up minor injury issues, with De Zerbi admitting he is unsure whether either would be available for this fixture.On the injury front, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Guglielmo Vicario have all remained in England as they continue their respective rehabilitation programmes.Predicted Tottenham line-upsFirst half: Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Van de Ven, Robertson; Fernandes, Williams-Barnett, Gallagher; Yang, Solanke, Tel.Second half: Dubravka; Byrne, Danso, Takai, Kyerematen; Tonali, Bergvall, Donley; Solomon, Scarlett, Moore.Our Spurs score predictionWith De Zerbi expected to hand far more minutes to his senior players than he did against Auckland FC, much of the attention will naturally fall on the expected unofficial debuts of Jan Paul van Hecke and Andy Robertson.The Italian has already made it clear that these pre-season fixtures should be treated as normal games by the club’s younger players, giving them the chance to impress and potentially force their way into his first-team plans. That means there will once again be plenty of eyes on 17-year-old Luca Williams-Barnett, Mikey Moore, Dane Scarlett and Jamie Donley. And we expect those youngsters to make the difference as Tottenham continue building momentum ahead of the new season.Predicted score: Sydney FC 0-2 Tottenham HotspurThe post Everything you need to know about Sydney FC vs Tottenham: Where to watch, team news and predicted line-ups appeared first on Spurs Web.
