Macarthur vs Melbourne City prediction and betting tips on March 1, 2024
Game Prediction
Spring will begin on the football fields - the first day of the season will be Friday, when the next round of various championships usually starts. The earliest return to the fields will be in Australia, where Macarthur and Melbourne City will play in the A-League. A detailed prediction for the match on March 1, 2024, is available to the readers of the website.
Macarthur is having a good season.
The "Bulls" completely flopped in the previous edition, finishing twelfth, last in the regular season standings. However, as the winner of the 2022 Australian Cup, this team earned a spot at the international level and played in the AFC Cup. They did fairly well: they progressed from the group stage, thrashed Sabah 3-0 in the playoffs, and only lost 2-3 in extra time to more experienced compatriots, Central Coast Mariners. But now, being only in the A-League, the club obviously aims to improve there and finish in the upper part of the table. However, they only managed to draw with Newcastle Jets, 2-2.
Melbourne City needs to improve to avoid a slump.
The "Hearts" joined the international franchise - hence the "current" prefix to the name. Overall, not all clubs in the "grid" perform successfully. But precisely in Australia, the new status had an effect: in 2021, they managed to win the playoffs. Then, twice in a row, the team topped the "regular season" and reached the playoff final, although they lost there. But now, not everything is going well for them. In the AFC Champions League, the schedule interfered: under Aurelio Vidmar's guidance, they earned 9 points and finished second in the group but failed to advance to the playoffs. In January, their A-League performance deteriorated, with many losses, and the team fell out of the top 6. Moreover, they only managed a draw with Sydney in the last round, 1-1.
Previous matches:
