Macarthur and Brisbane Roar battle for three points in an Australian A League matchday six clash on Saturday at the Campbelltown Stadium.
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 defeat to leaders Auckland FC at the same venue last weekend. Guillermo May's 34th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Brisbane, meanwhile, twice squandererd their lead in a 3-2 home defeat to Adelaide United. They went ahead through Keegan Jelacic's sixth-minute strike before Stefan Mauk equalised in the 33rd minute. Jay O'Shea restored Brisbane's lead from the spot in the 33rd minute, but second-half goals from Zach Clough and Archie Goodwin helped Adelaide leave with all three points.
