Macarthur FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers Tips & Prediction - Under 3.5 goals tipped as out-of-form sides clash

Both teams are in poor form; Macarthur has recorded just one win in the last nine games, while the Wanderers are at the bottom of the ladder with only four victories all season.

Macarthur FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers Tips & Prediction
Two struggling sides square off in the Western Sydney derby on Saturday as Macarthur FC welcome the Wanderers to Campbelltown Stadium.
It's been a nightmare season for the Wanderers, who come into Round 19 anchored to the bottom of the ladder with just four wins from 18 games. The Wanderers are now eight points adrift of the finals positions and have officially entered 'must-win' territory. Meanwhile, Macarthur's bright start to the season has taken a bleak turn over the last month or so - they've been knocked out of Asia and have managed just one win from their last nine outings in all competitions.
Tough to back either side with any confidence here. Under 3.5 goals isn't great value either, but I'm going to take it as both attacks don't look too flashy at the moment. A draw looks a decent option in the H2H market, especially with Macarthur sharing the spoils more often than not lately. Harrison Sawyer is Macarthur's top scorer this season and found the back of the net against the Wanderers earlier in the campaign, so the towering striker tipped for a goal.

Macarthur FC Form Analysis
Macarthur come into this contest with a 6-7-5 record on the season and clinging onto a finals spot in sixth position.
It's not been a great last couple of months for Macarthur - as mentioned, they were knocked out of the Champions League 2 competition in the R16 by Bangkok United, while they've failed to win five of their last six A-League games.
Mile Sterjovski's side managed to restrict the high-flying and free-scoring Newcastle Jets to just one goal last week, but they looked flat in attack themselves, resulting in a 1-0 defeat.

WS Wanderers Form Analysis
Things couldn't have gone much worse for the Wanderers this season.
Despite being blessed with a strong squad on paper, the Wanderers are rock bottom on the ladder, managing just four wins for the season.

Gary Van Egmond stepped in for Alen Stajcic mid-season, but not much has changed for Western Sydney.
The Wanderers are getting into winning positions - they scored first against Sydney in the derby, went two goals up against Wellington and twice hit the lead against the Mariners last week, but ultimately won none of those games.
Last week was a new low, suffering a 3-2 loss to Central Coast, conceding an 89th minute winner.
