Macarthur FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers A-League Round 3 Tips & Prediction

Western Sydney Wanderers are tipped to secure all three points when they come up against Macarthur FC in Campbelltown on Saturday night in Round 3 of the A-League, with the lively Miguel Di Pizio playing a starring role.

The Wanderers remain unbeaten to start the season and look a strong chance for a second win here. Macarthur look decent, but they were fortunate to beat Perth at home before being held to a draw by an out-of-form Newcastle Jets side.

Take the Wanderers to back up their 5-2 demolition of premiers Auckland last week. There's also decent value on BTTS - No, while I like Di Pizio to continue his impressive start to the season.

Macarthur vs WS Wanderers Predictions & Best Bets

Bet	Odds	Reasoning
Wanderers Win	$2.50 @ Dabble	Wanderers coming off brilliant performance to beat Auckland 5-2 last week, while Macarthur haven't convinced to start the campaign, failing to beat a Jets side who were there for the taking in R2. Wanderers have also won three of the last five meetings, including most-recent 4-0 thumping in February
BTTS - No	$2.45 @ CrownBet	BTTS - No has landed in the last three meetings between the teams. Still early in the season & Macarthur's new-look squad don't look fully settled yet. Always like the plus money option in this market in the A-League
Miguel Di Pizio 1+ Shots On Target	$2.10 @ bet365	Di Pizio has been one of the standout players across the opening two rounds - he's had seven total shots, hitting the target vs Wanderers & Auckland this season
Miguel Di Pizio Anytime Goalscorer	$4.00 @ Dabble	Di Pizio got off the mark for the Wanderers by scoring the fourth goal of last week's win over Auckland - he's playing an attacking role & appeals for a second goal here

Macarthur FC Form Analysis

Macarthur lost six of their final nine games of last season, but are unbeaten across their opening two rounds this term.

However, the Bulls haven't been that impressive - they were fortunate to come away with a 2-1 win over Perth in Round 1 due to a controversial penalty.

Sasa Ognenovski's side conceded an early goal to fall behind against an out-of-form Newcastle side last week, but managed to equalise in the 70th minute for a 1-1 draw.

WS Wanderers Form Analysis

It was a very scrappy opening performance for the Wanderers as they settled for a 0-0 stalemate with rivals Sydney in the derby.

Wanderers fans weren't impressed after last season's wooden spoon, but their mood quickly changed following last week's 5-2 hammering of reigning premiers Auckland.

Ufuk Talay's side controlled the game with 62 per cent possession, scoring four second-half goals to run riot over the Kiwi club.

Musa Toure got off the mark for Macarthur as he scored the equaliser against Newcastle, assisted by Ryan Fraser, who once again made an impact off the bench.

Macarthur Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Alex Robinson, Callum Talbot, Tatsuki Nara, Jonathan Aspropotamitis, Nathan Paull, Liam Rose, Oliver Randazzo, Connor Pain, Dean Bosnjak, Bernardo Oliveira, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos

Dylan Scicluna produced a brilliant individual performance through the centre of the park last week, registering two assists for Di Pizio and Brandon Borrello's opening strike.

Liam Gillion also got off the mark for his new club, while Nicolas Milanovic celebrated his return to Commbank with the third goal of the win over Auckland.

Western Sydney Wanderers Possible Starting XI (4-3-3): Lawrence Thomas, Panashe Madanha, Germán Ferreyra, Anthony Pantazopoulos, Jarrod Carluccio, Angus Thurgate, Dylan Scicluna, Miguel Di Pizio, Nicolas Milanović, Brandon Borrello, Liam Gillion.

Verdict

Macarthur FC v Western Sydney Wanderers

The Wanderers are tipped for all three points, with Di Pizio continuing his red-hot start to the season.
