Head To Head

Auckland registered a 1-0 victory over Macarthur back in Round 5.

Auckland Form

Auckland started the season with a bang and after a brief dip, have regrouped strongly to reclaim top spot on the ladder from Adelaide - although they have played one more game.

Steve Corica's side won their opening six games of the season, perfectly positioning themselves for a crack at the finals in their debut campaign.

After winning just one of their next five, Auckland have returned to some good form, going unbeaten in their last three games, beating Melbourne City 3-1, drawing 2-2 with Adelaide and toppling the Wanderers 1-0 in that period.

Auckland Team News

There might be some squad rotation from Corica after the win over Western Sydney on January 26, while Dan Hall remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

Macarthur Form

Australia Cup champions Macarthur have put together a great season to date and come into this Round 17 clash in third spot on the ladder.

They've been inconsistent from time to time, but when Macarthur get it right, they can match it with any team in the competition.

Macarthur have won two and lost two over their last four outings, defeating Melbourne City 1-0 and Newcastle Jets 3-1, along with 2-1 defeats to both Adelaide and Wellington.

Macarthur Team News

Liam Rose missed the most-recent win over Melbourne City, while Chris Ikonomidis continued his comeback from injury with an appearance off the bench.

Verdict

Auckland FC v Macarthur FC

Both teams to score is backed as the best bet. Auckland have won five of their seven games at Go Media Stadium and they are tipped to prevail once more at home.
