After losing to Central Coast Mariners 4-1 in their previous A-League match, Macarthur FC will be looking to rebound here. Macarthur FC had 51 percent possession and 15 shots, four of which were successful. Daniel De Silva scored the Macarthur FC goal (11′).
The Central Coast Mariners made 17 shots on goal, 11 of which were successful. The Central Coast Mariners got goals from James McGarry (30′), Jason Cummings (47′, 63′), and Marco Tlio (51′). In recent times, Macarthur FC has only rarely been able to hold out for the full 90 minutes.
The facts demonstrate that Macarthur FC’s defense has been breached in six of their previous six matches, resulting in 18 goals conceded. That kind of example will not be guaranteed to finish this game, obviously. Melbourne City will enter this match having defeated Brisbane Roar 2-1 in their most recent A-League match.
In that match, Melbourne City had 70% possession and made 9 shots on goal, 3 of which were successful. Aidan O’Neill scored for Melbourne City (22′, 88′). Brisbane Thunder had 4 chances at the objective with 2 on track. Brisbane Roar’s goal was scored by Jay O’Shea (80′).
Melbourne City has scored 19 goals in their last dozen games. Additionally, Melbourne City scored goals on each of those occasions. Their defense has conceded 13 goals throughout that time.
We believe that Melbourne City will probably have a fair number of chances and shots on goal. Macarthur FC, on the other hand, may struggle to score, but we see enough opportunities for them to do so. When the game is over, we anticipate Melbourne City to win by a respectable 1-3 margin.
We can deduce from a review of their previous head-to-head results dating back to 12/03/2021 that these matches have not been favorable for Macarthur FC. They haven’t won a single game, but Melbourne City has been better, winning 83% of their games.
During this time, they combined to score 19 goals, with three coming from Macarthur and sixteen coming from City. That’s an average of 3.17 goals scored per game. On the A-League’s match day 15 on February 4, 2023, Melbourne City defeated Macarthur FC 6-1 in their previous league matchup.
In that match, Melbourne City had 65 percent possession and 20 shots, nine of which were successful. Jamie Maclaren, Richard van der Venne, and Andrew Nabbout scored the goals (3′, 87′), 33′, 43′, 77′, and 68′, respectively.
At the other end, Macarthur FC made six attempts on goal, four of which were successful. Moudi Najjar (72′) was the scorer.
After scoring last time out, Macarthur will be sure to rely on De Silva’s attacking qualities from midfield again this weekend. In their most recent 4-1 defeat, Daniel Arzani was also moved into a more creative position. Although the outcome was not favorable, he could be used with a little more freedom this time around.
Mathew Leckie has a problem with his hamstring, Richard van der Venne has a problem with his calf, and Jamie Maclaren has been dealing with a broken toe that he has played through for the visitors. However,
Andrew Nabbout and Valon Berisha have both benefited from more playing time as a result of these injuries, which should continue this time around.
