Western Sydney Wanderers vs Macarthur Prediction

The Western Sydney Wanderers’ 16 matches so far this season have consisted of 63 goals. They come into this one on the back of a typically thrilling 3-3 draw with Sydney in the derby last weekend in a game in which they were 3-1 up as late as the 88th minute at the Allianz Stadium. They now face a Macarthur side that are the fourth top scorers in the league themselves after a fun few months. Their most recent outing saw them share a 2-2 draw with Western United last weekend. Both teams scoring seems a good bet for this one between two impressive and entertaining sides for the neutral.
