Macarthur FC vs Western United Preview & Prediction

Only two points separate the sixth-placed Macarthur FC and 10th-placed Western United as the two teams prepare to lock horns on Saturday in the A-League.

Reigning premiers Western experienced a nightmare start to the season, but they are slowly getting back on track and three points here would lift them above Macarthur on the ladder.

Western are unbeaten in five of their last six games and are coming off a confidence-boosting 1-0 victory over Sydney FC last week, with Alessandro Diamanti scoring a screamer in the final minutes.

Meanwhile, Macarthur have had a turbulent week after Dwight Yorke made a controversial departure from his managerial position.

Mile Sterjovski has stepped up into the role and fans will be hoping for immediate success on Saturday.

Macarthur haven’t really pushed on since winning the Australia Cup despite possessing one of the more talented rosters in the competition and they come into this clash having lost three of their last four games.

VERDICT:

Tough game to call. Western are in slightly better form, but they’ve only won one of the last five meetings between the teams.

麦克阿瑟足球俱乐部对西部联队预览和预测

排名第六的麦克阿瑟FC和排名第十的西部联队只差两分，两支球队准备在周六的甲a联赛中交锋。

卫冕冠军西部队在赛季初经历了噩梦般的开局，但他们正在慢慢回到正轨，三分将使他们在积分榜上超越麦克阿瑟。

西部队在过去6场比赛中有5场保持不败，并在上周以1-0击败悉尼FC队，亚历山德罗·迪亚曼蒂在最后几分钟打进一球。

与此同时，在德怀特·约克有争议地离开他的主教练位置后，麦克阿瑟经历了动荡的一周。

迈尔斯·斯特乔夫斯基已经得到了提拔，球迷们希望周六的比赛能立即取得成功。

麦克阿瑟队在赢得澳大利亚杯后并没有真正前进，尽管他们在比赛中拥有更有天赋的阵容之一，他们在这场比赛中输掉了过去四场比赛中的三场。

结论:

很难判断。西部队的状态稍微好一点，但他们在过去五次交锋中只赢了一场。
