City Primed to Win This Clash

Melbourne City are priced at 1.62 to secure a Full-Time Result victory and we think these odds are too big. We’re expecting the hosts to land a win against Macarthur and a nice potential return is on the cards.

Bulls Won When They Last Played City

Melbourne City have won four consecutive home games. In their last appearance, they won away from home, beating Wellington Phoenix 1-0 at Sky Stadium. The Cranbourne East team had four shots on target and enjoyed 60% possession, with Marco Tilio netting the winner early in the second half.

Macarthur suffered a second consecutive defeat when losing 2-0 in their previous game. This was at home to Sydney FC at Campbelltown Stadium. Mile Sterjovski's men managed one shot on goal and had 42% possession.

Macarthur are bidding for a third successive win against City, with both previous victories coming at Campbelltown Stadium and the scorelines were 1-0 and 2-0 on home soil. The past 10 H2H matches have resulted in five City wins, three draws and two Macarthur victories.
