Azzurri United vs Macarthur FC Verdict
Macarthur lifted the Australia Cup in 2022 and 2024 and can begin another quest with victory over Azzurri United in Darwin. The NPT NT side are rank outsiders and I'm backing this one to have plenty of goals in search of value.

- Macarthur have won two Australia Cup trophies in the last four years
- Macarthur have won four of their last five Australia Cup R32 games
- Macarthur scored the fourth-most goals in the A-League last year, but also had the second-worst defence
Head To Head
This will be the first meeting between the clubs.
Azzurri United Form
Azzurri are flying high at the top of the NorZone Premier League in the Northern Territory, winning 13 of their 15 games.
It's been a dominant season, with Azzurri enjoying a +45 goal difference, scoring a whopping 59 goals in their 15 games.
Azzurri are making their Australia Cup debut after crushing Darwin Port 6-1 in the final round of Northern Territory qualifiers.
Cai Pritchard is one of Azzurri's star attacking players and will be keen to showcase his talents on the national stage.
Macarthur FC Form
It was a tough season for Macarthur in the A-League last term as they juggled AFC Champions League 2 commitments.
Macarthur ultimately finished in seventh spot on the ladder, four points adrift of the finals.
A run of six defeats from their last nine games meant the Bulls lost pace with the top six, so they will be determined for a better upcoming season.
Macarthur have strong Australia Cup pedigree, winning the 2022 and 2024 editions, while they were quarter-finalists in 2025.
Verdict
Not much betting value with this one, but Over 5.5 goals appeals given recent history in these kind of matchups.
