Adelaide United vs Macarthur Preview


Macarthur lost various key players in the transfer window and their form has gone out the window, losing four of their last five outings including three consecutive away games. I'm backing Adelaide to win at home.

Head To Head


Macarthur were unbeaten in their previous three meetings with Adelaide before the Reds prevailed by a 2-1 score back in Round 12 earlier this term. Adelaide came back from 1-0 down in the 85th minute, with Zach Clough and Luka Jovanovic scoring late to secure the victory.

Adelaide United Form


It wasn't long ago that Adelaide were Auckland's main threat for the minor premiership, but that's all changed and now the Reds are fighting to simply remain inside the top six.

Adelaide have won just one of their last six games heading into this contest, which has seen them fall from second to fifth on the ladder, just four points ahead of Sydney FC in seventh.

After a thrilling 4-4 draw across the ditch against Auckland, Adelaide missed a great chance to further cement their finals status, drawing 1-1 at home last week against rock-bottom Brisbane Roar.

Adelaide United Team News


Javi Lopez remains in doubt with a calf injury ahead of this clash.

Macarthur FC Form


It's been a horror last couple of months for Macarthur, who have tumbled down the ladder to eighth position, six points adrift of the finals spots having played one more game than the immediate teams above them.

It's tough to see Macarthur turning things around in this final third of the season, with the team heading into this clash having lost four of their last five games.

Mile Sterjovski's side have been held scoreless in their last two defeats against Sydney FC and Melbourne City, suffering identical 2-0 losses.

Macarthur FC Team News


Walter Scott is set to miss this game through injury, while Kristian Popovic is also in doubt.

Verdict

Macarthur's season looks over after a tough last couple of months and several leading players departing the club. I'm backing Adelaide to return to the winners circle at home.
