Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between these teams is one win each and one draw from their three meetings in the A-League, with the most recent clash ending 1-1 four weeks ago at City's home.
Key Players
- Harrison Sawyer has been his main goal threat up front with five in 14 A-League appearances, but the young and mobile players around him are likely to provide the most danger in transition for the hosts.
- The visitors’ danger man is Max Caputo with six goals in 14 A-League outings, but he is in better form than Sawyer, having bagged two in the last five.
Betting Insights
- The current form of both teams suggests this game will be close, with the draw at 3.35 an interesting alternative to the short odds for City (2.12) and Macarthur (3.3).
- The BTTS odds of 1.7 offer further scope to make some money on this fixture, which should see plenty of attacking action and goals at both ends.
Prediction
Our preferred play is to back the team with the better quality and more of the ball - City - to take the three points in a game that will be finely poised.
