Sydney vs Macarthur Prediction and Betting Tips

Sydney will host Macarthur at the Leichhardt Oval on Saturday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 Australia A-League campaign. The home side kicked off their season with a 2-1 defeat to Adelaide United but have quickly turned a corner and now sit second in the league table, just one point behind league leaders Auckland.

They picked up a 4-1 comeback victory over Newcastle Jets last time out, falling behind in the opening 10 minutes before summer signing Al Hassan Toure scored a brilliant hat-trick to help secure a well-deserved win for Ufuk Talay's men.

Macarthur, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the A-League this season, playing out a 1-1 draw with Western Sydney Wanderers in the previous round, with Harrison Sawyer's early opener canceled out by their opponents in the 82nd minute.

However, they picked up maximum points on the continental stage during the week, beating the Vietnamese side Công An Hà Nội 2-1 in the AFC Champions League Two.

The visitors now sit fifth in the table with four points from an obtainable nine and will be targeting a consistent run of results in the coming weeks.
