Macarthur team news and form: A drop in midfield talent
Alas, coach Mile Sterjovski’s hands are tied. He will not be able to count on a couple of his key men as Kristian Popovic and Liam Rose are injured. We will likely see Luke Brattan operate in the centre of the pitch.
Predicted lineup: Kurto (GK), Damevski, Uskok, Vujica, Adamson, Oikonomidis, Deli, Brattan, Jakolis, Hollman & Germain

Player to watch: Hiroshi Ibusuki
We mentioned top finisher Botic earlier in our Macarthur vs Western United prediction, but you should know that Ibusuki’s tally is just as impressive as Botic’s. Both players bagged seven goals for coach Aloisi so far and it will be interesting to see who will win the internal goalscoring chase.
Second player to watch: Ariath Piol
Despite his backup status for the Bulls, Piol still managed to find the net on three occasions. Surely, he will get some minutes to prove his worth against Western United as well.
