Macarthur FC vs Newcastle Jets Preview
A proper early season blockbuster kicks off Sunday’s action and this is shaping up as a potentially memorable clash.
Few would have expected Macarthur to be leading the herd through the opening four weeks of the season but to their credit, they have been very impressive thus far.
The only team yet to taste defeat also has the best defensive record so far, conceding just once in Round 1 and holding their last three opponents scoreless.
It all looked like it clicked for Newcastle last week in their 4-0 demolition of Wellington and Athur Papas has his side playing exciting, expansive football.
While the reports of at two players in the squad testing positive for Covid (at the time of writing) is bound to disrupt their preparations for this fixture, it would be a mistake to write them off completely.
However it is enough to make me steer clear of the match result market, but there is value to be found elsewhere.
Papas will still encourage his side to go for it and Macarthur has plenty of firepower in its squad so we should see a high scoring affair unfold and that is the angle I will be backing.
