MAC vs MLC match preview

Macarthur have been impressive for most of the season but have witnessed a recent dip in form. Ante Milicic's men are on a three-match winless run (1D 2L) that included a shocking 2-2 draw to bottom club Newcastle Jets in their last game. With 27 points after 18 games, Macarthur are in fifth place in the A-League standings and are four points behind leaders Melbourne City having played two games more. Macarthur are set to face their most difficult challenge this weekend as they face the leaders who have been in stunning form this season.

Melbourne City thrashed local rivals Melbourne Victory 7-0 last week thanks to five goals from Jamie Maclaren and a goal each from Andrew Nabbout and Adrian Luna. With 10 wins and a draw in 16 games, Erick Mombaerts' men lead the A-League standings by one point and a game in hand. Melbourne City will hope for a similar performance this weekend as they have their eyes set on their first A-League championship, having finished as runners-up last year.
