Competition: A-League
Market: Matthew Leckie to score anytime
Odds: 6/5 @ 888sport
Hoping to try and make an immediate return to winning ways on Wednesday morning, Melbourne City will welcome Macarthur to AAMI Park.
Starting with the hosts, last seen throwing away a 2-0 lead and having to settle for a point against Perth on home soil, there is no doubt that Melbourne City will be seeking an immediate response here. Knowing that three points on Wednesday morning could see them climb back to the top of the A-League table, Head Coach Patrick Kisnorbo should be smelling a golden chance here. Still managing to muster 10 points from their last four outings, the Sky Blues also have one attacking talisman enjoying a real purple patch this season. Once again finding the net against Perth last week, Matthew Leckie has now got on the scoresheet in back-to-back matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted that the one-time Borussia Mönchengladbach man has recorded six goals in just his previous seven appearances.
As for the visitors, last seen over the weekend putting in a worrying display as they were hit with a 3-1 drumming away at Melbourne Victory, Macarthur have really struggled with their consistency throughout this year’s campaign. Quickly freefalling their way out of the A-League title battle, Head Coach Ante Milicic has seen his side win just a pair of their last nine outings, a run that stems back to December 19th. Knowing that they will face another huge task when they travel to AAMI Park on Wednesday morning, it should also be highlighted that the Bulls were hit with a 2-0 defeat when they faced off against the defending champions earlier in the season. With Leckie coming up against a Macarthur side who have shown some extended issues defensively, we’re backing Melbourne’s attacking MVP to extend on his recent purple patch here.
