Melbourne Victory vs Macarthur Prediction: Attacks on top at AAMI Park

Macarthur FC’s wretched run continued last week with a 3-1 home defeat to Central Coast Mariners, marking the Bulls’ third consecutive Australian A-League Men’s defeat, and extending their winless run to seven games across all competitions.

This Sunday (08:00 GMT, TNT Sports 1), Mile Sterjovski’s side head to AAMI Park, where Melbourne Victory, unbeaten in their last five games, lie in wait. Below are my Melbourne Victory vs Macarthur predictions, alongside all the latest team news and match odds.

Both Teams To Score and Total Goals Over/Under +3.5 - Yes & Over 3.5 @ 7/5

Both teams have scored in Victory's last five games, three of which featured over 3.5 goals.

As for Macarthur, BTTS-Yes has been a winning selection in five of their last seven league matches, and four (three with both teams scoring) have gone over 3.5 goals.

Today's Football Fixtures

Both defences look dodgy here, with the Bulls failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches across all competitions and shipping seven across their last two, while Victory haven't recorded a single shutout in their last six.

December's reverse fixture at Campbelltown Stadium finished goalless, but I'm backing at least four strikes this Sunday, as both sides look to strengthen their pursuit of a play-off place.
