Macarthur vs Adelaide United Prediction
Macarthur have propelled themselves up the table. The home team come into this one on the back of an entertaining 3-2 defeat of the Western Sydney Wanderers in their most recent outing on New Year’s Day. That means they are now unbeaten in their last six matches. They now face an Adelaide United side that themselves suffered a 3-2 loss at home to the Western Sydney Wanderers last weekend before the turn of the year. The South Australians have been generally strong this season but given their form as well as their home advantage, siding with Macarthur seems sensible for this one.
