It would be an exhibition of two distinctive football styles as both teams take to the field in the first of the two-match series to determine the Oceania champion club to represent the region in the World Clubs final.
Koloale would resort to short passing while Auckland are expected to play a more structured football and use their height advantage to score goals.
They have a remarkable record in their domestic league, winning almost-every silverware on offer since their national league started.
Nevertheless, at Lawson Tama, they will definitely find it a bit more challenging and that is where Koloale should use their home ground advantage to take three points out of this match and hope a miracle happens in their away match in Auckland to become the first Island nation club to qualify for the FIFA World Clubs Final.
