Macarthur vs Melbourne City Predictions & A-League Betting Tips

Frontrunners Melbourne City will travel to take the three points away from Macarthur’s grasp on the 19th of March. But these aren’t our only A-League betting tips! Go to our designated A-League predictions to get more exclusive suggestions.

Over 2.5 Melbourne City Goals

It’s interesting to note that 50% of the six games between the two teams ended with Melbourne City scoring three or more.

Such was the case on the 4th of February, 2023. Melbourne City obliterated their rivals with a brutal 6-1 win at AAMI Park and the goals started coming in the 3rd minute of the match when Jamie Maclaren opened the score with a well-placed shot in the bottom corner of the net.

Furthermore, Hearts’ attack is second to none in the A-League this season. With 46 goals scored in only 19 league matches, Melbourne City are going to give Macarthur a run for their money on Sunday.

Melbourne City/Melbourne City

Even though we saw a couple of Macarthur wins in the last few weeks, coach Mile Sterjovski’s boys definitely lack consistency. And it’s not going to get any better on Sunday when they face Melbourne City who can be briefly described as one of Macarthur’s biggest nightmares.

The two teams played a total of six games against each other. In them, Melbourne City emerged victoriously on five occasions while one game ended in a draw. That’s right, Mile Sterjovski’s side has never defeated Hearts and this fact further boosts our Macarthur vs Melbourne City prediction.

Macarthur odds: 15/4 (4.75) – 19.0%

Draw odds: 13/4 (4.25) – 22.0%

Melbourne City odds: 13/20 (1.65) – 59.0%

Melbourne City’s odds at 13/20 (1.65) give coach Rado Vidosic’s boys a whopping 59.0% chance to get the three points on Sunday. In comparison, Macarthur’s odds at 15/4 (4.75) barely amount to a 19.0% win probability. Even a draw at 13/4 (4.25) is more plausible than a Bulls’ win.

Macarthur vs Melbourne City Lineups & Team News

Macarthur

The Bulls are juggling between losing and winning in the A-League this season. The last couple of games perfectly illustrates why our Macarthur vs Melbourne City prediction fancies the visitors on Sunday. The last five league events ended with two victories for Macarthur and three losses. This means coach Mile Sterjovski’s boys lack consistency and it will be interesting to see if they’ll have a good day against Melbourne City.

Predicted lineup – Kurto (GK), Millar, Uskok, Aspropotamitis, Vujica, Baccus, Hollman, De Silva, Toure, Arzani & Romero

Melbourne City

Hearts’ 2-1 win over Brisbane Roar a couple of days ago was far from convincing. Main man Jamie Maclaren had a quiet game and it was up to Aiden O’Neill to step up and be the hero for coach Rado Vidosic’s boys. Two goals by the defensive midfielder proved decisive as Melbourne City took home the three points.

Predicted lineup – Glover (GK), Talbot, Lam, Good, Bos, O’Neill, Jamieson, Berisha, Tilio, Maclaren & Nabbout

Player to Watch: Jamie Maclaren

As long as Jamie Maclaren is on the pitch, our Macarthur vs Melbourne City predictions are safe. He’s the top A-League goalscorer by a landslide. The 29-year-old has 18 goals to his name and a bunch of assists. He’s a frontrunner for the Best Player award this season and if he continues performing the way he has this entire season, why shouldn’t he get decorated?
