- Hills United FC have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 New South Wales League 1 2026 fixtures.
Hills can get the better of the hosts
After the flurry of end of season friendlies and signings, the New South Wales League 1 2026 season is finally starting to take shape, and Sunday’s fixture between Prospect United FC and Hills United FC will be interesting in a number of ways.
Firstly, this game represents Prospect United FC’s transition into New South Wales League 1 after they gained promotion last season. With 3 draws and a defeat from their first 4 games, they’ve not had the easiest of starts, but will be buoyed by 2 consecutive draws in their most recent outings, including a 2-2 away draw with Dulwich Hill FC.
Meanwhile, Hills United FC sit 10th in the New South Wales League 1 2026 with 6 points from 4 games, 3 ahead of Sunday’s hosts who have picked up 3 points from 4 outings.
Hills were looking good last time out in a 3-1 win away to Bulls FC Academy, but fell 2-1 in their most recent match, a home game against Macarthur Rams.
Both teams pride themselves on structure and shape, with Prospect’s pragmatic approach under head coach Darren Camilleri focusing on structure first, organisation at the back, and the development of young players. Hills United FC have looked to develop a structured and disciplined approach under their new coaching group, led by Patrick Zwaanswijk, playing quick and vertical when they have the ball, but strong and solid at the back when they don’t.
With Hills United FC’s new attacking flair on display in recent weeks and Prospect United FC’s lack of wins this season, we’re going for the visitors to snag a victory here, albeit by a narrow margin. The odds also suit Hills here (2.17) with Prospect coming in at 2.85 and the draw at 3.45.
The bookies are favoring goals in this one, with Over 2.5 goals coming in at 1.56, but we think that Prospect will try to keep this one tight and Hills United FC will need to do the business themselves.
