Western Sydney Wanderers vs Macarthur Prediction

The Western Sydney Wanderers have been entertaining throughout the last few seasons and that has once again continued into this campaign. Their nine matches so far this season have consisted of 49 goals as they prepare to face a Macarthur side that have enjoyed a good run of form with their 3-0 defeat of struggling Perth Glory in Western Australia at the weekend meaning they are now unbeaten in their last five matches in the A League. Given the ‘fun’ nature of the way in which the hosts play and the good form of the visitors, both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
