Macarthur form and stats
The A-League season is young and Macarthur have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.
There might be some fixture complaints from Macarthur as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-4 against Wellington Phoenix. Arzani got a match rating of 7.01 in that game, top player of the team. Arzani served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 8 times.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Sydney.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Macarthur when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 3 times, drawing 0 and winning 1 game.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Macarthur as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. Macarthur's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: four - one - two (Mariners wins - draws - Macarthur wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
