The hosts meanwhile will look to impress local supporters in what will be their final home match this O-League season before heading to New Caledonia to play AS Magenta on Match Day 6next weekend.
Tomorrow’s clash had originally been scheduled for Friday 5 March but had to be postponed due to heavy rain in Papeete two weeks ago. It will be played at Stade Paea at 7:30pm on Friday 19 March (local time).
Auckland City will eagerly await the result before facing their cross-town rivals in the final group match on 28 March – a game that will ultimately decide who goes through to the O-League home-and-away final to play off for a spot at the FIFA Club World Cup.
