ℹ️ Team News: Macarthur FC
Daniel De Silva (Hamstring injury) and Jake McGing (Groin injury) are not available for Macarthur FC boss Mile Sterjorvski.
We think that Macarthur FC may well kick off with a 4-3-3 formation in the match and select Filip Kurto, Yianni Nicolaou, Tomislav Uskok, J. Aspropotamitis, Ivan Vujica, Kearyn Baccus, Ulises Davila, Clayton Lewis, Jed Drew, Valere Germain and Matthew Millar.
📋 Team News: Melbourne Victory
Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s just the sole fitness worry for the Melbourne Victory gaffer Tony Popović to be concerned about. Jordi Valadon (Hamstring injury) misses out for this game.
From our viewpoint, Victory seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Paul Izzo, Jason Geria, Damien Da Silva, Roderick Miranda, Adama Traore, Fabian Monge, Rai, Daniel Arzani, Zinedine Machach, C. Ikonomidis and Bruno Fornaroli.
💭 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Macarthur FC are capable enough to get a goal against this Melbourne Victory side, but a single goal is unlikely to be good enough.
We can see a narrow 1-2 advantage for Melbourne Victory when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
