So you get what you deserve.Sydney FC have become this seasons early pacesetters after winning their opening five games.Such has been their dominance, the Sky Blues have only conceded one goal, while scoring 13 themselves.But Lowe is confident his team can cause an upset by snaring all three points, even without star defender Josh Risdon (Socceroos duties).I think its a game we can win, and we go there with a desire to do that, Lowe said.Air Max 97 Plus Black Shock Orange .
