The team lost 0-4 to West in the last round, and in the past 5 matches, the team won 3 and lost 2, and ranked 7th in the league with 14 points, which is not a very bad result in general. After 10 rounds of this season, 4 wins and 6 losses, no draw, but the last 4 rounds of the league 1 win and 3 losses, recent situation has seen a certain degree of decline.
This game features attackers on both sides of the ball in what could be considered a Georgia derby. MacArthur center forward Alabri is now the team's top center forward with three goals so far, while New Jets center forward Mikel Tadze, also a Georgian, has two goals this year, and the team also has Georgian midfielder Datsymeria in the lineup.
The biggest problem for MacArthur at the moment is the absence of De Silva, the centerpiece of the team's midfield, who is out with an injury. In the last round, the impact of De Silva's absence was very obvious, and the team suffered a big loss. On the offensive line, Dahl and Arzani are the type of players who play in localized areas and can't give the team a big-picture boost. The New Jets, on the other hand, have a favorable outcome in the midfield, as the team's main midfielder, Brendan O'Neill, after missing two rounds due to injury, has already played half an hour as a substitute in the last round, and has the chance to be among the starters in this round, which will change the strength of the two teams in the midfield in contrast to each other.
