Head To Head

The Wanderers have won five of the last eight encounters, including a most-recent 2-1 triumph back in Round 19 this term.

Macarthur FC Form

Overall, it's been a disappointing season for Macarthur, who are confirmed to finish in eighth spot on the ladder.

After securing Australia Cup silverware for the second time in three years and starting the A-League season on fire, Macarthur faded in early 2025 as they saw various key attackers depart the club.

Macarthur ultimately couldn't recover, winning just two of their last 10 matches coming into this contest, with last week's 2-1 loss to Melbourne Victory putting them out of the finals race.

Macarthur FC Team News

No injuries for Macarthur as they have named the same squad that went down to Victory last week.

Western Sydney Wanderers Form

It's been a tremendous season for the Wanderers, with the team still a chance at finishing in second spot and securing Champions League football for next season.

Western Sydney come into this encounter on a 11-game unbeaten run, including a most-recent 1-0 triumph over the Newcastle Jets last week, which sees them currently sit in fourth spot on the ladder.

Wanderers fans will no doubt have an eye on the earlier kick-offs on Saturday, with the club needing Sydney FC and Auckland FC to take at least a point against MelbourneCity and Western United respectively. If that happens, the Wanderers can take second spot if they beat Macarthur.

Likewise, no fresh injury concerns for the Wanderers ahead of this contest.

Verdict

Macarthur FC v Western Sydney Wanderers

Macarthur have nothing to play for but pride, while the Wanderers will want to extend their winning form heading into the finals - and they may even have Champions League football for next season on the line here.

The Wanderers beat Macarthur in their only previous meeting this season and can double down here, with both teams finding the back of the net for the seventh straight encounter.
