Macarthur vs Western United Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th November 2023

Macarthur will play host to Western United at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in A-League Men on Saturday.

Macarthur dropped two points in their opening match of the season at home against Brisbane Roar, which ended in a 1-1 draw. However, they won their next game against Central Coast Mariners on the road to take their total to four points, leaving them fifth in the table. The hosts are among the four teams holding four points each.

The Bulls finished as the league’s worst team last season, sitting bottom of the standings with 26 points out of 78 possible. The outfit was reinforced with seven new players, including striker Valère Germain, who joined from French club Montpellier. Macarthur’s previous two meetings with Western United ended in stalemates.

Western United had a dream start, defeating giants Melbourne City 2-1 in an away fixture. However, they were deflated on matchday two as they succumbed to a 5-0 loss against Western Sydney. Could they get back to winning ways on the road as they head to Macarthur? The visitors boast five wins in their last eight trips away from home.

Western United finished seventh last season and did not qualify for the finals series. Head coach John Aloisi says it remains their main objective for the new season. However, they need to avoid another defeat to maintain their early momentum. Western United are yet to win a match at the Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
