Matchday 28 in the A-League will kick off with Macarthur playing host to Melbourne Victory at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Friday. The Bulls are eighth in the league standings, while the Big V are fifth. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

With only two games left to play in the regular season and four points separating them from the top six, this is a must-win fixture for Macarthur to keep their playoff hopes alive. 

The Bulls enter this match on a four-match unbeaten streak, with their most recent outing ending in a 2-2 draw away to Central Coast Mariners. They also scored two or more goals in each of those four games.

However, the hosts have been underperforming at home of late, winless in their last three on home soil, while having conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 10 at this venue. 

Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory passed up an opportunity to move up in the league standings last week when they were beaten by champions-elect Auckland FC at home. 

Notably, that result marked the first time that the Boys in Blue failed to score since early February, and it was also their first home loss since January 10. 

On the road, the visitors have been in mixed form this season, having earned 15 points from 12 games, with a record of four wins, three draws and five defeats.
