LWDWDL ⚖

Melbourne Victory got 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Ryan Teague (4') and Kasey Bos (36') scored for Melbourne Victory.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Macarthur FC have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Macarthur FC have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 14 goals along the way. We shall soon see whether or not that trend can be continued on here.

Ahead of this meeting, Macarthur FC are without a home win in the past 4 league matches. Their fans aren't happy.
