Macarthur FC vs Melbourne Victory FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Macarthur FC are slated to face Melbourne Victory at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. This A-League fixture is scheduled to begin at 14:05.

Head-to-Head (Last 5 matches) - The last five meetings between Macarthur and Melbourne Victory have been pretty evenly matched. Both teams have picked up 2 wins each, while one game ended in a draw. Interestingly, all 5 of those games saw both teams get on the scoresheet, and most of them were decided by just a single goal. So if history is anything to go by, this could be another tight one.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Macarthur FC Preview

Macarthur FC have been a tough side to read this season. They sit 9th in the A-League table and will be eager to grab all three points at home. From their 6 games so far, the Bulls have collected 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. 

They are coming into this game after a 2-0 defeat to Perth Glory, so Mile Sterjovski’s men will be desperate to bounce back and shake off their slow start. A win here could lift them to 10 points and even push them into the top four if results elsewhere go their way.

However, Macarthur’s attack really needs to step up. They have scored only 4 goals and conceded 7, averaging just 0.7 goals per match with 48.2 percent possession. They will need a more confident showing to get their season heading in the right direction.

Macarthur FC Probable Starting Lineup - Kurto; Talbot, Uskok, Jurman, Politidis; Rose, Brattan; Vickery, Caceres, Grzan; Sawyer

Melbourne Victory FC Preview

Melbourne Victory, meanwhile, have had an even tougher run. They are stuck at the bottom of the table and haven’t been able to find any rhythm. With 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses, plus 11 goals conceded and only 4 scored, the pressure is piling up. 

They come into this game on a three-match losing streak, and facing Macarthur away won’t make things any easier for Arthur Diles’s side. To their credit, they average 0.7 goals per game, like Macarthur, and hold a slightly better possession rate at 50.7 percent. But converting chances has been a huge problem, even though they tend to take more shots than the Bulls.

With only one win this season, also against Perth Glory, Victory will be hoping this is the matchup where things finally click.

Melbourne Victory Probable Starting Lineup - Duncan; Davidson, Miranda, Esposito, Inserra; Valadon, D’Arrigo; Jelacic, Mata, Grimaldi; Luai

MACARTHUR FC vs MELBOURNE VICTORY FC
Winning Prediction

Right now, Macarthur FC look better placed to take all three points. They are at home, they have shown flashes of solid football, and Victory’s struggles, especially that three-game losing skid, put the visitors on shaky ground.

If Macarthur can finally get some attacking rhythm going, they should be able to get the job done.

Macarthur FC to win 1-0.
