Illawarra are fourth in the league and are on a three game winning streak, but will take on a Tigers squad desperate for points as they look to close the gap on the competition’s high-flying leading quartet.
"They will be trying to get a bit of momentum going so will be trying to knock us off," Moscato said.
"It will be a big challenge, especially with players like Michelle Heyman and Ellie Brush in their line-up.
"We know we are coming up against a really good opponent."
Heyman made the switch from the Stingrays to the Tigers in the off-season.
She had made just one appearance for her new club so far this campaign.
The Tigers were beaten 2-0 by Manly United last week while Illawarra outclassed North West Sydney Koalas 3-0.
