Melbourne City team news and form: Hearts can’t stop scoring

With almost 50 goals since the start of the season, Melbourne City are surely performing well in the attack. It’s the backline that’s causing trouble for the manager, but we are sure that a lackluster side such as Western United will not trouble Hearts at home.

Predicted lineup: Young (GK), Soupayen, Godoy, Reis, Ugarkovic, Leckie, Jeggo, Natel, Arslan, Jakolis & Maclaren

Western United team news and form: Too little, too late

Western United won two of their last four league outings, but their good momentum won’t amount to anything positive, as the team is semi-last after 26 matches played. Moreover, the coach will have to find solutions to the issues at the back, which further makes things complicated for the manager.

Predicted lineup: Heward-Belle (GK), Garuccio, Donachie, Imai, Shamoon, Wales, Lustica, Thurgate, Danzkai, Ruhs & Grimaldi

Player to watch: Jamie Maclaren

2022/23 Top Goalscorer Award winner Jamie Maclaren is the player to watch in our Melbourne City vs Western United prediction. He did a fantastic jobs with Hearts’ jersey last season, when he scored a total of 24 goals in 29 league appearances, adding three assists to his name as well.

Maclaren far from his best days

With only nine goals in 26 league matches, Maclaren isn’t performing as well as he did last season. We are sure that the best is yet to come from this sensational player and it’s coach Aloisi’s boys who will feel his wrath.
