Team News, Results and Probable Lineups
Sydney
Sydney made the trip to Central Coast Mariners for their latest A-LEague match where a goal from Retre put the visitors 1-0 up in the 11th-minute. However, this proved to be a false dawn for the away side as CCM scored twice before the break to lead 2-1 and with no goals being scored in the second half, Sydney slipped to a narrow defeat.
Predicted Lineup – Redmayne (GK), Grant, Caballo, Donachie, Gurd, Brattan, Mak, Cáceres, Retre, Burgess & Lolley
Macarthur
Macarthur had the home advantage in their last match against bottom-of-the-table Perth Glory but struggled to break down their guests in the first half, which ended goalless. However, Macarthur did manage to open the scoring through Arabuli in the 712st-min ute and that solitary goal proved enough to secure all 3pts.
Predicted Lineup – Kurto (GK), Aspropotamitis, Vujica, Millar, Uskok, Dávila, Baccus, De Silva, Arabuli, Arzani & Toure
Starting Lineups
Sydney FC
Macarthur FC
Player to Watch: Robert Mak
The Slovakian midfielder impressed for his country at Euro 2020 and made the move to Sydney from Hungarian side Ferencvaros at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
Mak has been exciting the Sydney fans in his opening seven appearances for the club in the A-League, chipping in with 3-goals.
Only fellow midfielder Lolley has scored as many goals in the A-League for Sydney this season and the dup have struck up a good relationship on the field.
We're backing Mak to cause the Macarthur defence plenty of issues with his dribbling and cross from out wide, and don't be surprised if he gets into a few scoring positions as well.
