Macarthur form and stats
Macarthur have collected 7 points from their A-League home games so far after 2-1-1.
The Macarthur regulars got no joy from their last match, also played here at Campbelltown Stadium: A 0-3 defeat against Sydney (placed 6th).
Ahead of that match, Macarthur won a home game hosting Newcastle Jets (2-1).This is expected to be a close game, with Macarthur perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Macarthur as a small favourite), we find seven games. Macarthur has won three of these, drawn three and lost one.
5 goals have been conceded.
Western United form and stats
Things could have gone better for Western United in their A-League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Western United has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Western go into this game after a win, the home game against Melbourne City that ended 1-0. Midfielder Diamanti was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.32. Diamanti hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 6 of 6 times.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Wellington Phoenix's place.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Western United in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Western United, one draw and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Western United manager Aloisi as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Melbourne Victory.
