Wellington Phoenix vs Macarthur Preview & Tips


Wellington Phoenix saw a three-game unbeaten run make way for a 2-1 home loss to leaders Auckland FC in their last match. 

Macarthur were beaten 2-0 by Sydney FC in their last game before the international break as their two-game unbeaten run was brought to an end. 

  • Macarthur have lost both of their away games without scoring
  • The Phoenix have won five of their last six against Macarthur

Head To Head


In their last 10 meetings, Wellington have won seven times with Macarthur winning the other three. 

Wellington Phoenix Form 


The home side are looking to build on a fairly positive start to the new season after winning once, losing once and drawing twice. 

Frustratingly, their last outing saw them beaten 2-1 by Auckland FC, with this seeing their rivals and the league leaders extend their unbeaten run. Meanwhile, Wellington have now won once and lost once at home. The focus will now be on making it two wins from their opening three on their own patch. 

Against Macarthur, the Phoenix have been strong. They have won five of their last six against their opponents in a dominant run. They also welcome their opponents knowing they are yet to secure a point on the road this season, meaning they will be confident. 

Macarthur Form

 
If this match was to be played at home, Macarthur would be very confident that they could take all three points and the bragging rights from this one. 

However, by contrast to the four points they have secured from their opening two at home, they arrive for this one having lost their opening two on the road without scoring a goal. 

With a torrid record against the Phoenix since April 2023, Macarthur will struggle in this one, and I predict they will be beaten by their opponents once again. 

Verdict

I am backing the home team to take all three points from this one as they hand their opponents a third consecutive defeat on the road this year.
