Key Macarthur vs Western United Prediction & A-League Tips
With two consecutive league losses, it’s time for Macarthur to earn some points and we feel that the game on the 28th of January is a good opportunity to do so.
Contents
1-1 Draw
We have a complete stalemate in this rivalry. With two victories for Macarthur, two draws, and two Western United triumphs, it’s understandable why we believe that the two managers will share the spoils on Saturday. Our key Macarthur vs Western United prediction is for a 1:1 score and it certainly wouldn’t be an unprecedented result.
After all, the last match between the two teams ended with a 1:1 tie and it was Lachlan Wales and Matthew Millar who stole the show by scoring two wonderful goals.
Over 9.5 corners
When you have two evenly matched mid-table teams going up against each other, you tend to see plenty of set pieces being taken. We feel that the match on Saturday will most likely have plenty of good goal opportunities coming from corners.
Just taking a quick glance at the statistics from the last few games was enough for us to provide you with the Macarthur vs Western United prediction. The clash against Adelaide United ended with 15 corners alone!

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Macarthur
The Bulls will have to drastically step up their game if they want to pat themselves on the pack at the end of the season for a job well done. The two consecutive league losses don’t look very promising as Macarthur’s players looked uninterested in what was going on the pitch. The thrifty 1:0 Adelaide Victory against Macarthur was a particularly good example of that as Zach Clough’s opener came in the 6th minute of the game. Macarthur had all the time in the World to react yet they couldn’t make their chances count and deservedly lost.
Predicted lineup – Kurto (GK), Uskok, Millar, Aspropotamitis, Vujica, Baccus, De Silva, Drew, Arzani, Noone & Arabuli
Western United
Western United are on the other extreme. Coach John Aloisi’s boys are enjoying life in the A-League as they have lost only one of their last five events. The narrow 1:0 victory over Sydney on the 21st of January left the fans wanting more as they hope for a victory over Macarthur on Saturday. After all, Macarthur did have 15 shots and with 52 % possession against Sydney, it’s understandable why our Macarthur vs Western United prediction for this week is oriented toward a draw.
Predicted lineup – Young (GK), Imai, Lacroix, Topor-Stanley, Risdon, Doumbia, Kilkenny, Pierias, Wales, Pain & Botic
Starting Lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Jamie Young
The 37-year-old veteran has been a crucial part of coach John Aloisi’s starting XI and the faith the manager has in Jamie Young’s skills is paying off greatly. The goalkeeper was at his lethal best against Sydney denying the attackers the pleasure of scoring a goal on seven occasions. Furthermore, he conceded only one goal in the match against Newcastle Jets in a match in which the Jets could’ve easily scored a bunch more if there was someone else guarding Western United’s front.
