Macarthur vs Sydney FC Prediction and Betting Tips | March 1st 2025

The action continues in round 21 of the Australian A-League as Macarthur and Sydney FC square off at the Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday. Both sides are separated by one point just outside the playoff places and this makes for an exciting contest as they look to get one over the other in their push for post-season football.

Macarthur failed to arrest their slump in form as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Western Sydney Wanderers at the CommBank Stadium a fortnight ago.

Mile Sterjovski’s men have failed to taste victory in three back-to-back games, picking up one point from a possible nine, having won four of the six matches preceding this run.

While Macarthur will be looking to find their feet this weekend, results at home offer little optimism as they have failed to win seven of their last eight matches at the Campbelltown Stadium since October 25.

Elsewhere, Sydney FC were guilty of a lack of cutting edge in the final third last time out as they were held to a goalless draw by Perth Glory at HBF Park.

Before that, Ufuk Talay’s side picked up a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Bangkok United to complete a 4-3 aggregate win over the Thailand outfit in their CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 clash on February 19.

Sydney have picked up 26 points from their 18 A-League matches so far to sit seventh in the standings, one point and one place above this weekend’s hosts.
