The winner of the Wollongong FC-Sydney Olympic match will face premiers Sutherland at Seymour Shaw Park next weekend for a spot in the grand final.

Turner said whichever team wins tonight would be favourite against Sutherland.

"I don't think Sutherland are as good as Olympic and I think we are a better side too," Turner said.

"We played Sutherland off the park at their home ground (in round 22) and they haven't had a match since then.

"Olympic won as many games as Sutherland this year and we won one more game than both those teams."

Olympic - who lost the Tiger Turf Cup final 3-1 to Bankstown last weekend - will be without mainstays Roger Galayini, Anthony Hartshorn, Shannon Cole and Peter Zorbas tonight.

However, Olympic will be confident knowing they are the only side to have defeated the Wolves twice this season.

The Belmore Park-based outfit thumped Wollongong FC 4-0 in round two and scraped past 2-1 in round 13.

"I wouldn't read too much into who they're missing - Olympic have been a tough road for us this season," Turner said.

Wollongong will be missing Danial Cummins (suspended), Lachlan Cahill (trialling in Europe) and Michael West (ruptured spleen), while Chris Price is in grave doubt with a knee injury.

Youth-team regulars Brett Farnsworth, Josh Price - Chris' brother - Karouna Michael and Samet Kaynak will be expected to step up.

"We'll find out tomorrow how they'll deal with the pressure of the finals," Turner said.

Turner has decided who will start in goals, but will wait until just before kick-off to tell Michael Turnbull and Justin Pasfield his decision.

"I would prefer to tell them face-to-face rather than have them read it in the paper," Turner said.

"They'll be told in the dressing room on Friday.

"I told them both to be ready to play."

Turner expects a physical contest from the bigger Olympic outfit, but believes both sides will score goals.

"Finals are never pretty football, but I think it will be an open game because neither side knows how to shut it down," Turner said.
