Bruce Tilt's side kicked off their Women's NSW NPL campaign with a 2-1 away win over Football NSW Institute last weekend.
Coach Tilt says the Stingrays are keen to build on that performance but need to respect their opponents.
"I think that win will give the girls a lot of confidence. We hadn't had much of a training program leading into that game because we haven't had our first graders there. And we only had the W-League girls back for one night last week," Tilt said.
"But they [Tigers] haven't had a run yet and they'll obviously get a lot of W-League players back in. It will be a danger game for us, back on the grass (field) which we like. And you've got to take advantage of your home ground. I keep saying to the girls, 'if you win all of your home games, then you'll be close to be being right among the top teams in the league'."
