LiontipsPerth Glory vs Macarthur. Prediction and bets on the match of the Australian Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Perth Glory remains one of the weakest teams in the Australian Championship. Last season, the team finished last in the A-League, scoring only 22 points in 27 matches. The hosts are four points behind their closest competitor. The start of the current season was also unsuccessful, and only in the last round did they manage to win their first victory. The Perth club managed to beat another loser, Brisbane Roar (1:0), away. Before that, the team managed to score points in matches with Central Coast Mariners (0:0) and Adelaide United (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Mustafa Amini, Anas Hamzaoui and Nikola Milesnic will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one match this season.
- In the last three matches the team managed to score only one goal
Probable lineup: Sale - Ridson, Barr, Kanga Sanchez, Carluccio - Bugaria, O'Neill, Gomulka, Aoyama - Faisal, Taggart
Current form
Macarthur has been rather unstable at the start of the season, but after winning the previous round, it has returned to the playoff zone. The team currently occupies fifth place in the standings, but its pursuers Wellington and Sydney are only one point behind. Wellington Phoenix fell victim to the Bulls in the previous round - the hosts won with a score of 2:1. Before that, there were draws against Brisbane Roar (4:4) and Western United (0:0), who are outside the playoff zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Christian Popovic is still out with a knee injury. Toni Uskok is suspended. Christopher Ikonomidis is questionable.

- The hosts have lost two of their last three home matches
Tentative line-up: Courtauld - Jones, Jurman, Vujica - Adamson, Brattan, Rose, Scorr - Hollman, Drew, Jakolish

1.50Tip and bets
The win in the last match did little to change Perth Glory standings, but the team gained confidence in their abilities. In front of their own fans, the Perth representatives will try to build on their success. Considering that the visitors have won only one of their last five matches, the hosts can easily take points from Macarthur.
Our prediction is Perth Glory not to lose at 1.95
Bet on total
Both teams are not in their best form right now, so it is unlikely that they will perform well. Most likely, the opponents will try to play a disciplined defense, so it is worth betting on the under total.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals at 1.62
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.55
