📰 Team News: Macarthur FC
Kealey Adamson (Ankle injury), Jake McGing (Pelvic injury) and Bernardo Oliveira (Achilles tendon surgery) aren’t available for Macarthur FC boss Mile Sterjorvski. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Jake Hollman, Ulises Dávila and Yianni Nicolaou.
It seems likely that Macarthur FC will possibly make use of the 4-2-2-2 formation this time, beginning the first half with Filip Kurto, Ivan Vujica, Tomislav Uskok, Tommy Smith, Walter Scott, Clayton Lewis, Kearyn Baccus, Jed Drew, R. Borges Rodrigues, Valere Germain and Lachlan Rose.
ℹ️ Team News: Sydney FC
Sydney FC boss Ufuk Talay has to choose a team with limited availability. Wataru Kamijo (Back injury), Joseph Lacey (Ankle injury), Patrick Wood (Ankle injury) and Gus Hoefsloot (Meniscus tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Jordan Courtney-Perkins and Jake Girdwood-Reich.
We believe The Sky Blues seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Andrew Redmayne, Rhyan Grant, Hayden Matthews, Gabriel, Joel King, Corey Hollman, Luke Brattan, Max Burgess, Anthony Caceres, Joe Lolley and Fabio.
🧠 Prediction
Our feeling is that Sydney FC should see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.
At the same time, Macarthur FC may well find it hard to score themselves but we do see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.
Our selection here is for a fairly comfortable 1-3 margin for Sydney FC come full-time.
