One of the matches of the 16th round of the Australian A-League will take place on Saturday at Campbell Town Stadium, where Macarthur will host Melbourne City. I suggest a bet on the number of goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
Macarthur continues to display their usual level of performance. The club, which finished last season in fifth place, is currently in sixth but has a chance to improve. They are just three points behind third place, shared by Melbourne City and Western United, which gives them an opportunity to catch up if they succeed against Melbourne City.
However, the Bulls' home performances leave much to be desired. At home, they suffered defeats to Newcastle Jets (1-2), Auckland (0-1), and Adelaide United (1-2) and drew high-scoring games with Brisbane Roar (4-4) and Central Coast Mariners (4-4). In the last round, the Bulls hosted Wellington Phoenix and lost 1-2.
Melbourne City consistently confirms their status as one of the most stable A-League clubs, ever since their first playoff appearance in 2014, never missing out since. This season, under Aurelio Vidmar, they are once again aiming high, and a top-six finish seems almost guaranteed for them.
The club started the regular season confidently, with a series of away victories. However, they faced unexpected setbacks at home. Nonetheless, in the new year, City seems determined to turn things around with three consecutive home wins, including clean sheets against Wellington Phoenix (2-0), Western United (2-0), and a narrow win over Brisbane Roar (1-0). This streak ended in the last round when Melbourne City lost away to Auckland.
