Melbourne Victory vs Macarthur FC Tips & Prediction - Victory to upstage struggling Macarthur
Melbourne Victory faces Macarthur FC in a critical A-League match at AAMI Park. Currently, the Victory is on a five-game unbeaten streak, looking to cement their position in the top six by defeating the struggling Bull side. Macarthur FC, with just one win in their last 11 games, is in poor form and has several players suspended. The Victory is favored to win, especially with Juan Mata's exceptional performance boosting the team. Expect both teams to score, but Victory is backed for the win.

Melbourne Victory vs Macarthur FC Tips & Prediction
Melbourne Victory will be looking to further entrench themselves in the top six when they play host to a freefalling Macarthur FC side in the A-League on Sunday at AAMI Park.
Somehow, Macarthur are just one point outside of the finals in seventh. However, their form across all competitions has been abysmal for the last couple of months, coming into this clash with just one win from 11 games and losing four of their last five - including a most-recent 3-1 defeat to the Mariners at home.
Meanwhile, Victory are unbeaten in their last five outings, but will be hoping to snap a sequence of back-to-back draws after sharing the spoils with Adelaide and Sydney FC - the latter of which saw Juan Mata score one of the A-League's great free-kicks.
If Victory are serious about challenging for the silverware this season, then this is a match they simply must win - and I'm confident they can get the job done. Macarthur are all over the place and perhaps a long season juggling continental football is taking a toll. Victory rarely keep clean sheets in their wins, so back the hosts with both sides finding the back of the net. Charles Nduka came off the bench with immediate impact last week against the Sky Blues and can make it back-to-back games scoring.

Melbourne Victory Form Analysis
Victory come into this clash with an 8-5-7 record on the season and sitting in fifth spot on the ladder after 20 rounds.
Currently five games unbeaten, Victory enjoy a five-point buffer on Macarthur in seventh, but a slip up here would see them battling to remain in a finals position.
Juan Mata continues to mesmerise A-League fans this season, with the Spanish superstar topping the assist leaderboard and making headlines again last week as he scored an absolute worldie of a free-kick against Sydney FC.
“We’ve spoken about the superlatives all season… well he is just getting better and better," Daniel McBreen said on commentary.
"Soon to be 38 years of age and look at him dancing like a young kid.”
Unfortunately, Victory couldn't hold on for all three points, despite Charles Nduka also finding the back of the net moments after being introduced into the game, settling for a 2-2 draw.
