After conquering Wellington across the ditch last month, Macarthur are backed to double down in front of their home fans. Phoenix are struggling considerably this season and have lost their last three matches on the road, along with five of their last seven overall. Macarthur are equipped with immense firepower in the final third and are tipped to record what would be just their second home win of the season.

  • Macarthur have won three of their last four games
  • Phoenix have lost five of their last seven games
  • Phoenix have lost their last three away games
  • Macarthur have seen BTTS land in five of their last six games
  • Macarthur beat Phoenix 2-1 last month

Head To Head


Phoenix were on a four-match winning streak against Macarthur until Round 8, where the Bulls turned the tables and came away with a 2-1 victory.

Macarthur FC Form


It's been a solid season for Australia Cup champions Macarthur, who are starting to find some much-needed consistency.

Macarthur are unbeaten in seven of their last eight games and head into this showdown having won three of their last four - including a most-recent 3-1 victory away to the Newcastle Jets.

With three players currently in the top 11 for goals scored this season - Jed Drew and Valere Germain have six each, while Marin Jakolis has four goals and six assists - Macarthur arguably have the most-potent attack in the competition and they will be looking to make an impact against a struggling Phoenix side on Monday night.

Macarthur FC Team News


Still no word on Chris Ikonomidis' return, with the former Socceroos winger still waiting for his Macarthur debut after injury.

Wellington Phoenix Form


Phoenix are finding it difficult to repeat their exploits from last season and come into this encounter languishing in ninth spot on the ladder with just four wins from 12 games.

Wellington's form on the road has been poor, with the Kiwi club losing their last three away games against Auckland, the Wanderers and Melbourne City.

With five defeats from their last seven games, Phoenix will be hoping to build on a 0-0 draw with in-form Sydney FC mid-week.

Wellington Phoenix Team News


Alex Rufer missed the draw with Sydney on Wednesday due to illness and is a chance to make his return for this clash.

Verdict

Phoenix have struggled all season and they're staring down the barrel of a fourth consecutive defeat on the road here.

Macarthur have been in great form after a slow start to the season and are tipped to secure all three points at home - but Phoenix can get on the scoresheet in defeat. Valere Germain has six goals for the season and is always a good shout for first goalscorer.
