It's first up against third on the ladder and it promises to be a cracking contest across the ditch. I think BTTS - Yes is decent value here. Macarthur have scored in all but two of their games this season and seen both teams find the back of the net in four of their last five, while Auckland are flying high at the top of the table and should be good at the very least for one goal at home.

The Kiwi club are also backed in the H2H market. Auckland have only lost once at home all season, winning five of their seven outings at Go Media Stadium. Macarthur have been solid on the road, but they have a tendency to be inconsistent and lost the only previous meeting between the teams earlier this season.

  • Auckland have won five of their last seven home games
  • BTTS has landed in four of Macarthur's last five games
  • Macarthur have scored in 13 of their 15 games this season
  • Auckland have scored in 11 of their 14 games this season
  • Auckland defeated Macarthur on the road in Round 5

Head To Head


Auckland registered a 1-0 victory over Macarthur back in Round 5.

Auckland FC Form


Auckland started the season with a bang and after a brief dip, have regrouped strongly to reclaim top spot on the ladder from Adelaide - although they have played one more game.

Steve Corica's side won their opening six games of the season, perfectly positioning themselves for a crack at the finals in their debut campaign.

After winning just one of their next five, Auckland have returned to some good form, going unbeaten in their last three games, beating Melbourne City 3-1, drawing 2-2 with Adelaide and toppling the Wanderers 1-0 in that period.

Auckland FC Team News


There might be some squad rotation from Corica after the win over Western Sydney on January 26, while Dan Hall remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

Macarthur FC Form


Australia Cup champions Macarthur have put together a great season to date and come into this Round 17 clash in third spot on the ladder.

They've been inconsistent from time to time, but when Macarthur get it right, they can match it with any team in the competition.

Macarthur have won two and lost two over their last four outings, defeating Melbourne City 1-0 and Newcastle Jets 3-1, along with 2-1 defeats to both Adelaide and Wellington.

Macarthur FC Team News


Liam Rose missed the most-recent win over Melbourne City, while Chris Ikonomidis continued his comeback from injury with an appearance off the bench.

Verdict

Both teams to score is backed as the best bet here. Macarthur are equipped with one of the most dangerous attacks in the competition, scoring in 13 of their 15 games, while Auckland should be good for a goal at home.

In fact, Auckland have won five of their seven games at Go Media Stadium and they're expected to prevail once more here.
