SCU will host Bulli at Ian McLennan Park in the Premier League's standalone round 20 game this weekend, as rain continues to decimate the 2022 competition. Wollongong United will also face Bellambi in a catch-up game on Sunday at Ian McLennan Park.
Saturday night's clash shapes as a mismatch on paper, with SCU languishing at the bottom of the table while Bulli sit just outside the IPL's top five. However, Valic remains optimistic about their prospects for the remainder of the season.
"I keep telling the boys that it's going to be one small thing that will be the catalyst for us turning things around," he said.
"It could be a goal, it could be a big save, it could be a tackle. One moment is going to trigger that for us, so we have to be prepared to work hard to put ourselves in a position for that to happen. Fingers crossed it's this weekend."
