MacArthur win
Melbourne City have completely lost momentum in these last few weeks. The team are winless in three matches – including a home loss against 11th-placed Newcastle Jets. Macarthur has never been able to beat Melbourne City, but this is only their third attempt. Macarthur are clearly on a crest of momentum and the manner of win over Central Coast Mariners will be a further boost for the team. A win for Macarthur cannot be ruled out completely and Ante Milicic’s team might spring a remarkable surprise.
Total goals over 2.5
Melbourne City have not kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches, while Ante Milicic’s team have a potent offence that has scored in six out of their last seven games. There will be nerves ahead of the game due to the stake being quite high. However, Macarthur might play with little pressure on their shoulders and there might be goals from the visitors.
Both teams to score – yes
The momentum built up by Macarthur over the last few weeks has been excellent. It has been built on a strong offence, which has the potential to score from a variety of situations. Melbourne City’s lack of defensive confidence is likely to see goals at both ends, as Patrick Kisnorbo’s men do have some powerful scorers.

Melbourne City
Melbourne City have every reason to be concerned about their form coming into the semifinals. There is no doubt that momentum plays a big role in the success of the team in this stage of the competition. Since beating Central Coast Mariners, City have been on a downward spiral. Kisnorbo will just be hoping that his team can spring up when it matters the most.
Macarthur
Macarthur are looking to create history in their first in A-League campaign by reaching the Grand Finals. Furthermore, there is less expectation on Macarthur after having finished sixth in the table – a full 10 points behind regular season leaders Melbourne City. The fighting spirit shown by Macarthur in the win over Central Coast Mariners could act as a warning to Sydney.
