Peninsula Power will relish the underdog spotlight as they welcome Western Sydney Wanderers to A.J. Kelly Park for a high-stakes Round of 32 clash in the Australia Cup.
The Queensland-based side is no stranger to Cup runs, having made five appearances in the Final Rounds, including a memorable quarter-final finish in 2022. Coached by Aaron Philip, Power arrive in form, unbeaten in their last five and having scored 21 goals in their four qualifying fixtures. A gritty 3-1 win over NPL leaders Queensland Lions and a wild 11-2 demolition of Brisbane Knights prove they’ve got both bite and flair when it counts.
But standing in their way is a Western Sydney Wanderers outfit that brings A-League pedigree and deep Cup experience, including two prior semi-final appearances. The Wanderers kick off their 2025 campaign looking to avoid an early upset and will likely lean on their physicality and depth to handle the tricky away trip to Queensland. While Power’s Cup magic and home crowd will offer a spirited challenge, this is a classic David vs. Goliath battle... One that promises Cup drama.
