Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Macarthur form and stats
The first A-League game here at Campbelltown Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Macarthur's home game statistics were 5 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats from 13 games.
Macarthur are returning here after visiting Central Coast Mariners and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Germain and Baccus scored the goal(s). Baccus (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.45/10. Baccus scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 48 successful passes (of 54 total).
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Phnom Penh Crown in the AFC Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Macarthur have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 9 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 4 and lost 1.
Macarthur has scored {1 goals-1} so far and conceded {1 goals-2} from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Western United form and stats
Things could have gone better for Western United in their A-League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Western United lost away at Western Sydney Wanderers (0-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Western lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one. It is a concern for Western United that their goalie Heward-Belle made six saves in the Western Sydney Wanderers match, but still couldn't prevent a beating. Midfield player Penha was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.31/10. Penha hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times and had 37 successful passes (of 46 total).
Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Melbourne City.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Western United in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Western United, 3 draws and 5 defeats.
It's early days yet, but Western United has scored 2 and conceded 6 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
