Melbourne City - Macarthur. Forecast for the match of the Australian Championship (June 20, 2021)

In the last games of the regular season, "Melbourne City" was already playing for fun, and besides the players of the first team had the opportunity to take a breath, systematically preparing for the playoffs. As a result, Patrick Kisnorbo's charges suffered two defeats, failing to cope first with "Brisbane Roar" (0:3), and in the final round with one of the main outsiders - "Newcastle Jets"(1:2).

Between the two defeats, there was also a draw with the last place "Melbourne Victory" (1:1), and the vis-a-vis was able to recoup already in stoppage time. The main thing is that the "Townspeople", being in the strongest squad, do not repeat such mistakes.

"Macarthur" can already be absolutely satisfied with how their debut season in the elite of Australian football has developed for him. Getting to the playoffs would have been enough, but, as they say appetite comes with eating, getting to the quarterfinals is getting too little.

The team under the leadership of Ante Milicic paired with the "Central Coast Mariners" was not a favorite, moreover, the confrontation took place on a foreign field. In the second half, the opponent opened the scoring, but intervened in the VAR case due to an offside position, the goal was canceled. At the 75th minute, the "Bulls" were completely outnumbered. But who would have thought that "Macarthur" would be able to score twice in extra time, creating, perhaps, the main sensation of the matches right through. Will you have enough energy for another surprise?
