A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Australia: A-League
Venue: Campbelltown Sports Stadium
Saturday 25th January 2025, 0835hrs (GMT)
Saturday brings us this upcoming top six clash in the Australian A-League between 6th placed Macarthur Rams and 3rd placed visitors Melbourne City at the Campbelltown Sports Stadium with both sides vying for a top six finish in the table.
Just three points separate Macarthur Rams from their upcoming opponents but the hosts’ situation has not been helped by losing two of their last three matches overall which produced losses at the hands of Adelaide United and Wellington Phoenix respectively.
The wider picture shows Macarthur have been handed just these two losses within their last nine matches overall while Mile Sterjovski’s side have also captured four wins within this period as well.
Recent wins against Wellington Phoenix, Perth Glory, Western Sydney Wanderers and Newcastle Jets will give the hosts confidence that they can get something from this encounter.
Melbourne City’s previously impressive and consistent seven-game unbeaten run in the A-League was brought to a halt by a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at newcomers, Auckland City, and Aurelio Vidmar’s side will hit the road again in this upcoming fixture in Western Sydney.
Melbourne City had previously registered four wins within their preceding seven league matches which came in the form of victories against Brisbane Roar, Wellington Phoenix, Western United and Brisbane Roar, the latter three wins all being achieved on home soil at their AAMI Park.
The visitors have lost just once in their last seven away games and they have collected four wins in the process but the bigger picture shows Melbourne City have managed just five wins from their last 16 outings on the road overall in the A-League.
