Adelaide United vs Macarthur Prediction
Adelaide United come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with bottom-of-the-table Brisbane Roar in their most recent outing to continue a frustrating run of form. They remain in the top-half of the 13-team A League table but have now managed just one victory in their last seven matches in the Australian A League. They now face a Macarthur side that suffered a 2-0 loss to Melbourne City at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium that now means they have collected just one point from their last five matches. Adelaide, with home advantage, will be slight favourites, but it is expected to be a frustrating and low-scoring encounter.
