Hellenic will host the Wanderers at Darwin Football Stadium on Tuesday. It the first time the Darwin amateur side, who only train twice a week, have reached the FFA Cup's round of 32.

No Northern Territory outfit has made it to the last 16 in the history of the Cup. But Hellenic, who were founded by Greek immigrants back in 1958, are adamant they will be no pushovers for their full-time A-League opposition.

The club’s main man is centre forward Helio Carvalho, two years shy of his 50th birthday and Darwn's answer to Tim Cahill, who has scored seven goals in the qualifying rounds.

"Pedro and John the two coaches have got the guys ready,” club president Kosta Boubaris told FourFourTwo.

"It was mixed emotions when got drawn with Western Sydney. You can look at it both ways. For the people of Darwin, it’s not often we get the chance to see an A-League club up here and that level of quality.

"Getting a ‘lesser team’, if you like, might have been better for the club or give us a better chance of proceeding to the next round. But overall we’re pretty excited about seeing an A-League club here in Darwin, seeing some good quality football played here.

"We’re putting our boys up against some of the best competition here in Australia so it will be a good show and a good opportunity for the Darwin public. It was a win-win. Having a home game is the main benefit."

A temperature of a maximum of 32 degrees Celsius, and a minimum of 21 degrees, is predicted for Darwin on Tuesday with humidity at 41%.

"We’ll definitely have a bit of advantage with the conditions,” Bourbaris believes.

"Also being mid-season and still pre-season for those guys. But hopefully they turn up and if the humidity does give them a bit of a shock, we have that extra advantage."
