Extra Bula FC head coach Stéphane Auvray is gearing up for a fresh challenge as they prepare to face Vanuatu United for the second time this season. The teams previously battled to a 2–2 draw in Auckland, but Auvray believes both squads have grown since that match, indicating that the upcoming match in Melbourne will be a different affair.
Auvray anticipates a more strategic and polished contest as the competition develops. He commended Vanuatu United, acknowledging their resilience and the quality coaching and players they possess. “I know it’s a team that never gives up. They have a good coach who knows the game, and they have good players as well,” he said, highlighting their strengths.
The French coach also pointed out that Vanuatu United has had time to regroup and reassess their approach since their last meeting. “They were able to go back home and work, I’m sure, and prepare for this game. But most teams are still in that phase where they’re trying to find themselves and the best way to approach games in this format,” he explained.
Although Vanuatu United will be missing some key players due to suspensions, Auvray remains focused on his team’s strategy and development rather than external factors. Bula FC is set to leverage the lessons learned from their previous encounter as they strive for a better outcome this time.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 2 PM tomorrow, and fans can catch the action live on FBC2. With both teams eager to showcase their growth, this match promises to be a compelling watch as they battle for crucial points in the competition.
