1.83Tip and bets
The visitors did not start the new season so successfully, but managed to impose a fight on their opponents in the last two matches. Surely Macarthur wants to take revenge on Sydney for the defeat in the last playoffs and will give it their all in this match. The hosts recently had a tough match in the Champions League and are unlikely to be able to fully recover. We believe that the visitors will be able to fight for points.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1) on MacArthur for 1.85
Bet on total
The opponents have no problems in attack, but we are unlikely to see more than three goals scored. The hosts recently played in the Champions League, and the guests' priority now should be to score points, not to play beautifully. Most likely, the opponents will stop at two or three goals.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the first half
Macarthur have never lost in the first half this season, so it is likely that the hosts will not be able to take the lead before the break.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.70
