Macarthur FC are expected to open the new A-League season with a victory over Perth Glory. The Bulls have strengthened their squad with 16 new signings and are seen as strong contenders. Perth Glory, in contrast, are coming off a disappointing season with little improvement and an early Australia Cup exit. With Macarthur boasting greater firepower and recent H2H history slightly in their favor, they are tipped to secure all three points at home.

Macarthur FC vs Perth Glory Verdict


Macarthur FC can kick off the new A-League season with a win over a Perth Glory side expected to struggle once again. The Bulls' transfer activity has been busy and 16 new additions makes them a strong proposition this season.
  • BTTS has landed in five of the last seven meetings
  • Perth have seen BTTS land in four of their last five A-League games
  • Macarthur have seen BTTS land in six of their last seven A-League games
  • Apostolos Stamatelopoulos scored 17 goals for Newcastle in the 2023-24 season
  • Tom Lawrence scored vs Macarthur last season and the Welsh attacker will captain Perth this term

Head To Head

Macarthur lead the H2H 7-4 alongside four draws, but Perth enjoyed success in this matchup last term, winning two of the three meetings, along with a draw.

Macarthur FC Form

Macarthur missed out on the finals last season, finishing in seventh spot on the ladder with nine wins from their 26 games.

Ultimately juggling their AFC Champions League 2 campaign proved too difficult to overcome, with the Bulls missing out on the finals by four points following a poor end to the season in which they lost six of their final nine games.

New manager Sasa Ognenovski has assembled a squad with lots of fresh faces ahead of the new season and the Australia Cup proved too soon for his team to click, with Macarthur crashing out in extra-time to NPL NSW club SD Raiders in the R16.

Perth Glory Form

It was another disappointing season for Perth, who finished in 10th spot on the ladder with eight wins.

At least it was an improvement from their wooden spoon campaigns from the previous two seasons, where they notched up nine wins in total.

Adam Griffiths enjoyed a bright start to his managerial career at Glory, but his side faded as the season went on, including an eight-game winless run from February to April.

Not much to write home about in the offseason either, with Perth bombing out of the Australia Cup R32 to Queensland Lions.

Verdict

Macarthur should have too much firepower up front & are backed for all three points at home.
