Sydney FC vs Macarthur FC Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Macarthur’s last six matches.
• Macarthur have scored in all 10 of their away matches this campaign.
• Sydney have hit the back of the net in eight of their nine home matches this season (88.9%).

Race for the playoffs heats up

The hosts enter this clash occupying the final playoff spot and will hope to leapfrog Macarthur with a win here. In order to do that they’ll need to bounce back after falling to a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United Jet’s last time out. Both teams to score has not been a frequent lander in Sydney games of late, but given the side below them has games in hand, a win here is pivotal to their playoff hopes but they welcome a Macarthur outfit that will be keen to claim a victory themselves and who have scored in every single away game this season.

Macarthur are just a place above Sydney in the league standings and also come into this fixture coming off the back of a defeat. There have been a high number of goals in their games of late, in fact, their last six matches have averaged 3.83 goals per game with both teams finding the back of the net in five of those six. The visitors can chase down Adelaide United and the third spot in the league with a victory here so they’ll be keen to get a result.

Both sides to get chances

Both teams to score hasn’t paid off of late in Sydney matches, however, given this is a top half of the table clash with an opportunity to further strengthen their respective grips on a playoff place, we think both sides will go for it here and they both possess good scoring records. We think Macarthur will extend their scoring form on the road but Sydney will be able to hit back. We’re siding with both teams to score here.
