Sunday’s A-League action kicks off at the Leichhardt Oval with Sydney FC playing host to Macarthur FC. The Sky Blues and the Bulls are second and fifth in the league standings, respectively, after three games. Let’s get into the match prediction!
After losing their opening match of the season to Adelaide United, Sydney FC bounced back impressively with back-to-back wins over Central Coast Mariners and the Newcastle Jets.
Against the Jets, Al Hassan Toure produced an incredible performance by bagging a hat-trick in just his third appearance for his new employers, taking his tally to four goal contributions in three games.
The hosts won their only home game this season, 2-0 against the Mariners, and earned 21 points from their 13 league matches at this venue last term (W6 D3 L4).
Meanwhile, Macarthur have made a mixed start to the league season, taking four points from their first three games with a record of one win, one draw and one defeat.
The Bulls took top spot in Group E in the AFC Champions League Two in midweek after beating Cong An Ha Noi 2-1 at home. They are now on seven points after four group-stage matches (W2 D1 L1).
However, the visitors have played four away games in all competitions this season and have yet to win a game on the road, losing three and drawing one.

Our Sydney vs Macarthur FC Prediction
Sydney FC will enter this match with bags of confidence after a very impressive victory over the Newcastle Jets last week, and they are now the second-highest goal scorers in the league this term with seven goals.
Macarthur have been poor on the road this season, but they certainly carry good attacking threat as we saw in their ACL2 fixture in midweek. Given the stats, we feel there will be goals in this one. Our Sydney FC vs Macarthur FC prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
