Primorje vs Uljanik - Friendlies Clubs

The Friendlies Clubs returns to the home ground on July 22, 2026, where Primorje and Uljanik will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Rush will take over under centre for the Falcons as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, with the team’s quarterback situation taking an unexpected turn heading into the season opener.

Both camps will view the Friendlies Clubs meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts will hope that the the home ground crowd can inspire a performance, whatever the numbers suggest. Uljanik will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. The 24-year-old finished first in one of Arsenal's big pre-season testing challenges - a 1.4km run at full pace.

Pressing intensity will define the contest. Primorje will seek to win the ball high up the pitch and suffocate Uljanik's build-up, while the visitors will aim to play through the pressure and exploit the spaces it leaves behind. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. The one thing I've noticed about Tottenham over the last few years is they never had a dominant midfielder.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 1-1 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Friendlies Clubs standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. The team currently most likely to win the 2026 WNBA Finals according to Opta.
