The upcoming A-League match on New Year's Day between Western Sydney Wanderers and Macarthur is set to be a closely contested affair. Both teams have shown resilience, with Wanderers boasting strong recent performances and Macarthur maintaining a five-game unbeaten streak. Historical encounters between these teams have been balanced. In terms of betting tips, a draw seems likely given the form and history, with options on double chance for Wanderers or draw, and Archie Goodwin as the first goalscorer.

Head To Head


There is nothing to split these sides with four wins each and three draws in 11 previous meetings. Last season, Wanderers won 3-1 in this fixture and in April, while Macarthur won 4-3 in between.

Western Sydney Wanderers Form


Western Sydney Wanderers came from two goals down to beat Adelaide United in a 3-2 thriller on Friday.

It is now back-to-back wins and three in the last four for Alen Stajcic's side, who are up to seventh spot as they recover from a slow start to the season.

The Wanderers beat Melbourne City 2-0 at the end of November and followed it with a frustrating 2-2 draw against strugglers Brisbane Roar.

Western Sydney bounced back with a stunning 4-1 thumping of Wellington Phoenix before coming from behind to defeat Adelaide at the weekend.

Macarthur Form


Macarthur ended 2024 on a five-game unbeaten run which including two wins and three draws.

The Bulls had two contrasting draws at the start of the run as they shared the points with Brisbane Roar 4-4 and Western United 0-0 a week apart.

Macarthur beat Wellington Phoenix 2-1 before drawing again, this time a 1-1 stalemate with Central Coast Mariners.

Mile Sterjovski's side did it easy last time out as they comfortably brushed aside strugglers Glory 3-0 away in Perth.

Verdict

Macarthur are tough to beat and proving to be draw specialists. I'm backing them to hold Western Sydney Wanderers on New Year's Day.
