Macarthur vs CAHN Prediction, 2:45 p.m. November 6: Keep the top spot

TPO - Football analysis Macarthur vs CAHN, Asian Cup C2 - Information on forces, expected lineup, performance, history of confrontation. CAHN is the number 1 hope of Vietnamese football on the continental stage. The team is currently holding the top position in Group E and certainly in Australia, the task of Quang Hai and his teammates is to maintain their position.

Pre-match comments Macarthur vs CAHN

Macarthur’s situation in the continental arena is not ideal. Macarthur has played 3 matches and only ranked 3rd, scoring 5 goals, conceding 3 goals. Perhaps not many fans expected this result because in theory, the Australian representative is considered the strongest name in Group E, which includes CAHN, Taipo and Beijing Guoan.

It should be noted that in the Australian Premier League, the club is in the middle of the table, showing extremely inconsistent play. The defense is definitely Macarthur's weakest point, as they concede too many goals.

Macarthur have lost 3 of their last 7 games, drawing 2. They are still far from the level of the top teams. Recent examples include a loss to domestic underdogs Brisbane Roar (0-1) and a heavy loss to Newcastle Jets (0-3). It is possible that their performance has been affected by having to play on two fronts, but that is not certain.

The Australian team lost their first match of the C2 season this year. The unexpected defeat against Tai Po was a shock because they were empty-handed against the representative of Hong Kong, China, whose football background is much weaker. Macarthur could not even show their strength at home. In the last 9 matches hosting opponents, Macarthur only won 2, and lost 5.

CAHN unbeaten in the last 11 matches

Form, head-to-head history Macarthur vs CAHN

In terms of overall performance, CAHN clearly brings more confidence. Although the Vietnamese representative is not highly rated compared to Macarthur and Beijing Guoan in Group E, he is currently at the top of the group, opening the door to the semi-finals.

In fact, the gap between CAHN and the other teams is not big. They are only 1 point ahead of Taipo and Macarthur. Just 1 round is enough for everything to change dramatically. But with the current situation, Macarthur is still hard to be optimistic even though they are the home team in this match.

Remember, CAHN has not lost any of the last 11 matches. During the same period, CAHN is the only team in Group E that is unbeaten. CAHN's defense has been quite solid in recent matches. They have kept a clean sheet in 5/7 of the last matches, although they have not fielded their best defensive options in every match.

But in recent matches, CAHN has begun to clearly feel the "marks" of the tight schedule. From scoring goals constantly, in the last 4 matches they have only had 1 match with more than 1 goal. This is the period when the team's attack has struggled the most since the beginning of the tournament. Against weaker teams, CAHN's defense of victory is becoming increasingly difficult.

There will certainly be criticism of their style of play, but winners are not judged. It is impossible to go through a long season without ups and downs, it is impossible to win every game overwhelmingly. Therefore, CAHN can still be proud of their 11-game unbeaten streak. It will be a confidence booster for them to visit Macarthur this afternoon.
