The A-League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Western Sydney Wanderers take on Macarthur FC on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent in recent weeks and will want to win this game.
Macarthur FC are in fifth place in the A-League standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The Bulls suffered a 3-1 defeat against Melbourne City last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
