Macarthur will clash heads with Central Coast Mariners in this A-League fixture. All you must know about the game is right here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ffa Cup. That game was also an away game, at Wollongong Wolves. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Macarthur form and stats
A A-League draw at home so far for Macarthur. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 13 matches.
Macarthur enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Sydney's place. The match ended 1-0 with Lachlan Rose scoring. Lachlan Rose, a striker, was the champion player for the side in that game, and was presented with a rating of 7.72 (out of 10). Rose scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Wellington Phoenix.This is expected to be a close game, with Macarthur perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Macarthur as a small favourite), we find five games. Macarthur has won one of these, drawn three and lost one.
The manager A. Milicic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sydney in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Macarthur at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Central Coast Mariners form and stats
Central Coast Mariners are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the A-League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Two travels in a row for Mariners, whose manager N. Montgomery could celebrate last time after the Ffa Cup win against Wollongong Wolves. A heroic performance from Central Coast Mariners in their game against Wollongong Wolves last time out. Things got complicated when M. Birighitti was sent off in the 20th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory! World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager N. Montgomery when H. McCarthy scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute.
A 1-2 defeat away at Wellington Phoenix before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Central Coast Mariners playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were two Central Coast Mariners wins, zero draws and one defeat.
It's early days yet, but Central Coast Mariners has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
