TEAMS PREVIEW

Macarthur FC Preview

Friday’s clash with Perth Glory marks the Bulls’ first game of the month, following a 1–1 draw at Adelaide United on January 30, where Chris Ikonomidis struck the equaliser. The result saw them slip a spot in the table but extended their unbeaten streak to three matches, highlighted by a memorable 6–2 rout of last year’s champions Melbourne City FC. 

Come Friday, Mile Sterjovski’s side will look to extend a strong run that, before their 3–0 defeat to Sydney FC, had stretched to seven games across all competitions. In short, the Bulls enter the clash having lost just once in their last 11 outings overall, and only once in their last 10 A-League matches.

Harry Sawyer tops the Bulls’ scoring with six goals in seven starts, along with an assist. After a quiet outing against Perth Glory last time around, he’ll be eager to rediscover the form he showed against Melbourne City — a goal and an assist — making him the key player to watch.

Macarthur FC Probable XI - Kurto (GK) ; Talbot, Uskok, Da Silva, Vickery, Bosnjak, Rose, Scott, Caceres, Grzan, Duke. 

Perth Glory FC Preview

Perth Glory arrive in Sydney full of confidence after a memorable 2–1 comeback win over Premiers Plate holders Auckland FC at HBF Park last weekend. Jaiden Kucharski stole the spotlight with a brace off the bench, and the result also underlined their attacking improvements — just seven goals in their first nine games, but 11 in the next six. 

The victory lifted Perth to 19 points — already two more than their entire tally from last season — adding to their growing belief. They will, however, be without midfielder Rhys Bozinovski following his midweek move to Heracles Almelo, though the squad still looks well equipped to handle Macarthur’s threat.

For Perth Glory, Tom Lawrence has been the standout performer and the one to watch out for having racked  up seven goal involvements — five goals and two assists — highlighted by a hat-trick against reigning champions Melbourne City FC.

Perth Glory Probable XI - M Sutton (GK) ; S Sutton, Kaltak, Wootto, Shamoon, Ostler, Bozinovski, Freney, Pennington, Taggart, Lawrence. 

MACARTHUR FC vs PERTH GLORY FC
Winning Prediction

This is a tricky one to predict, with both sides showing frailties at the back as Macarthur have just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches, while Perth have conceded in each of their last six. 

Glory, though, have been ruthless on the road, scoring two or more in four of their five away games, though they have lost their last two. Taking all that into consideration, Macarthur look the safer pick, but a draw remains a strong possibility.

We predict a draw (2-2)
