On Sunday, November 10, Sydney FC will host Macarthur in the 4th round of the A-League. The match kicks off at 15:30 Central European Time. My suggested bet is on a high goal count in this game.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
- This will be Sydney FC's first home match of the A-League season.
- Macarthur has won only 1 of their last 5 away games.
- The Over 2.5 goals bet has hit in Macarthur’s last 5 A-League matches.
- Last season, Macarthur defeated Sydney twice in the regular season (2-0 and 1-0) but lost 0-4 in the playoff quarterfinal.
Match Preview
Sydney FC had a productive summer in the transfer market, managing to retain almost all their key players. As a result, they are considered one of the top contenders for the season, and their early performance has justified that expectation.
Sydney has collected six points from their first three matches, all of which were away games. They defeated Brisbane Roar (3-2) and Western Sydney (2-1) but lost 0-1 to league newcomers Auckland.
Sydney FC is also competing in the AFC Champions League 2, where they have achieved some impressive results, including a 5-0 win over Eastern (Hong Kong) and a 4-1 win over Kaya (Philippines), though they suffered two defeats to Sanfrecce Hiroshima (Japan).
Macarthur, one of the youngest clubs in the A-League, is aiming to secure another playoff spot this season, hoping to go further than last year’s quarterfinals.
However, their season has had a rocky start, with only 3 points from three matches. They opened with a spectacular 6-1 win over Perth Glory, followed by back-to-back 1-2 losses to Newcastle Jets and Melbourne Victory.
Possible Lineups
- Sydney FC: Redmayne; Grant, Courtney-Perkins, Popovic, Matthews; Douglas Costa, Caceres, Leo Sena, Lolley; Uahim, Klimala.
- Macarthur: Kurto; Jurman, Vujica, Uskok, Scott; Adamson, Brattan, Rose, Hollman; Jakoliš, Drew.
Prediction for Sydney FC vs. Macarthur
Both teams have strong attacking capabilities, while Macarthur has evident defensive issues. I expect a high-scoring game, so my bet is on Over 3.5 goals.
