Tottenham continue their pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand with a match against Sydney FC at the Allianz Stadium. The north London side kicked off their preparations with a 2-0 win over Auckland, with goals from Dane Scarlett and Richarlison.
Match details
The match is scheduled for a 10:45am BST kick-off on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at the Allianz Stadium. The only place to watch is on Spurs' official streaming site, SpursPlay, with an annual subscription costing £45. Standard Sport will provide a live blog on matchday.
Team news
Mateus Fernandes, the only summer signing to feature against Auckland, is likely to be in contention again. Sandro Tonali was ruled out with a minor injury, while fellow new recruits Andy Robertson and Jan Paul van Hecke were deemed “not ready to play yet” by De Zerbi. Marcos Senesi has been given a longer break after being part of the Argentina squad that reached the World Cup final.
Other World Cup absentees are Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro and Djed Spence. James Maddison continues his comeback from an ACL injury, having not played in Auckland due to a slight fitness concern. Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain at Hotspur Way to focus on longer-term injury rehab. For Sydney, striker Victor Campuzano and defender Marcel Tisserand are their standout names and should get some minutes.
Prediction
After a promising display in New Zealand and potentially with some returning stars, Tottenham should win comfortably. De Zerbi may experiment with shape or partnerships, which could alter the game's rhythm. A 2-0 victory for Spurs is predicted.
Head to head history
Sydney wins: 0. Spurs wins: 1. Draws: 0.
