Wellington Phoenix vs Macarthur FC Preview & Prediction

Phoenix look to maintain their lead at the top of the table when they come up against Macarthur FC on Saturday at Sky Stadium.

Wellington are currently one point ahead of the Mariners on the ladder, but Central Coast have a game in hand, meaning if the reigning premiers win both, they will finish in first.

However, all Phoenix can do is take care of this game, which they will be confident of doing considering they’ve won their last three meetings with Macarthur, including dominant 4-1 and 3-1 home victories.

Phoenix have also won their last five A-League games at home, so they certainly should have the upper hand here.

Macarthur meanwhile have regained some form and come into this clash following back-to-back victories over Adelaide and Sydney FC.

It’s been a great season for Macarthur after they finished near the bottom of the ladder last term, with the club guaranteed to finish anywhere from third to fifth.

VERDICT:

However, you can’t look past Wellington at home. They’ve won five straight at Sky Stadium and three consecutive games against Macarthur. Back the Kiwi club to extend both of those records on Saturday (Best Phoenix win H2H odds $1.75 with bet365.)
