Olympic FC midfielder Michael Lee expects to be on the front foot against his former side Redlands United in Wednesday night's Westfield FFA Cup qualifier.
The two PlayStation® 4 NPL Queensland clubs take their first steps on the road to the Round of 32 at Cleveland Showgrounds, with victory putting either side within two matches of the national stage.
The knockout clash takes on extra meaning for Blackburn-born Lee, who for the first time returns to the ground he called home for four years.
"It's going to be a tough game," Lee said, despite the Red Devils being yet to record a league win in 2015.
"I played for them for a long time so I know they're going to sit a lot of men behind the ball and play on the counter-attack.
"We've got to deal with that and find a way to get around the back of them."
Lee netted the opener in a 1-1 draw between the two teams earlier this season, one of four goals he's scored in a bright start to life at Goodwin Park.
While excited to get Olympic's cup campaign underway, four straight league victories has only enhanced the former Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United junior's desire for PlayStation 4 NPL Queensland silverware.
"I want to win the league, that's my priority in coming to this club," he said.
"That's what I look forward to every week. I'm always looking at the table."
Kick off between Redlands United and Olympic FC in Westfield FFA Cup 2015 Brisbane Zone Qualifying Round 5 is at 7.15pm.
