Melbourne Victory vs Macarthur FC Preview & Prediction

Victory look to make it 16 games unbeaten this season when they host Macarthur FC at AAMI Park on Saturday.

However, despite their unbeaten season so far, Victory are down in third spot on the ladder, behind reigning premiers Central Coast and first-placed Wellington.

This is due to a league-high eight draws, including four straight coming into this clash. Victory have actually won as many games as Sydney FC this season – and the Sky Blues are languishing outside the top six.

Victory do welcome back Bruno Fornaroli from Socceroos duty for this encounter, which will give them a huge boost up front.

Meanwhile, Macarthur are just one place below Victory on the ladder and have also posted six wins for the season.

It’s been a very solid season for Macarthur so far and they head into this contest following a thrilling 4-3 triumph over the Wanderers last week.

However, Macarthur have struggled against Victory in the past and this will provide a clearer indication of where they’re really at.

VERDICT:

Have to back Victory at home – they’re won four of their last five meetings with Macarthur and with Fornaroli back, they should prove too strong again. Macarthur haven’t won a match in the A-League outside of NSW in 18 months (Best Victory win H2H odds $1.50 with bet365.)
