On Sunday, Macarthur will face Perth Glory in the A-League at Campbelltown Sports Stadium (December 18). On Sunday, the hosts opened their league season with a 1-0 loss to Melbourne Victory. Macarthur had held their own until the 84th minute, when Melbourne replacement Ben Folami scored the game-winning goal.
Perth, meanwhile, began their league campaign with a 2-1 victory against Western United in a bottom-of-the-table home match. Ryan Williams and Jack Clisby scored to put them two goals up. Neil Kilkenny added a consolation. Perth is presently ranked 11th in the rankings.
Prediction
Both clubs had poor beginnings to their seasons and were inconsistent. Perth has only won one of its five road games this season and may struggle. They have never defeated Macarthur.
Macarthur has won both of its home games against Perth and is anticipated to put up another strong performance. Nonetheless, given the two sides’ current record, a draw is very plausible.
Perth 1-1 Macarthur Prediction
We predict Macarthur 2-1 Perth Glory. This match is difficult to forecast because both clubs have been inconsistent this season. Even though Glory won their last match, it was against opponents that are now at the bottom of the standings, thus we believe the home team will have more added quality.
