Head-to-head statistics Macarthur Sydney - Brisbane
Macarthur: unbeaten start under new manager
Macarthur sit fourth with five points after three rounds. Sasa Ognenovski’s side began the league season with a 2-1 home win over Perth Glory, followed by two draws - 1-1 against Newcastle Jets and 0-0 against Western Sydney. Importantly, the hosts remain unbeaten, although they failed to make home advantage count or score in their last match.
Macarthur have scored three goals and conceded two in three matches. They have been fairly organised defensively but have yet to show much scoring threat. At home, however, Ognenovski’s players can create danger through their active wide players. Against Brisbane Roar, the hosts need to make better use of their scoring chances, as the visitors have already shown they can put significant pressure on an opposing defence.

Brisbane Roar: a good start and their first away test
Brisbane are fifth with four points after two rounds. Michael Valkanis’s side opened their league campaign with a 2-1 win over Perth Glory, then drew 1-1 with reigning champions Auckland. In the latter match, they moved the ball well, took 19 shots and had the greater share of possession, but did not equalise until the 95th minute.
Brisbane have scored three goals and conceded two in their two matches. Their attack looks promising, and they try to play boldly and create chances through passing combinations in central areas. However, the upcoming match will be the Roar’s first away game of the current league season. Against Macarthur, the visitors will need to be more careful defensively, as the hosts have already shown they can punish mistakes in their own half.

🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Macarthur’s players received seven yellow cards in their first three matches, while Brisbane’s players picked up six bookings in two games. That means the visitors average three cards per game, while the hosts average just over two. Given both teams’ fairly intense style of play and the battle for places near the top of the table, Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 is worth considering.
⚽ Goals Prediction
In the previous 13 head-to-head meetings between Macarthur FC and Brisbane Roar, the average was 3.38 goals per match, and both teams scored in 77% of them. Brisbane Roar have scored in each of the opening two rounds, while Macarthur FC have scored in two of their three matches. Despite the home side’s relatively modest scoring record, their attacking ability gives them a chance to score in reply. That makes Both Teams to Score - Yes an interesting option at odds of 1.59*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Macarthur FC average five corners per match, while Brisbane Roar’s figure is 8.5 across two matches. The visitors make active use of the flanks and regularly work the ball into positions to deliver crosses into the penalty area, while the hosts are also capable of maintaining a high level of pressure at home. Consider Total Corners - Over 9.5 at 1.48*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Macarthur FC go into the match in a more comfortable position, having avoided defeat at the start of the league season. However, Brisbane Roar have also been playing well and have scored in each of their previous two matches. Their head-to-head record shows that the sides often play high-scoring games, while their defences do not always cope with the opposition's attacks. I therefore expect both teams to score again this time. Final prediction: Both Teams to Score - Yes. Correct score prediction: 1-1.
