Macarthur vs Sydney FC prediction

Both Macarthur and Sydney FC are sat on 19 points, which only emphasises how little there is to choose between these two clubs. The big difference comes at the back, where Sydney FC have conceded a whopping seven less goals than their opponents. The visitors boast comfortably the strongest backline in the league.

This is something that cannot be ignored in what is expected to be an extremely tight game. Fans should be significant more confident that Sydney FC can shut their opponents out compared to Macarthur, although home advantage cannot be ignored from their point of view. Consider utilising the double chance market and backing Sydney to gain something out of this one.
