Auckland and Macarthur FC will face off at the Go Media Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. The Black Knights are second in the league standings, while the Bulls are in eighth place after 21 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a crucial victory over the Newcastle Jets on the road last week, Auckland were able to cut the gap to the league leaders to a single point with five games left to play in the season.
The victory over the Jets last week extended the Black Knights’ unbeaten run in the top flight to six games (W4 D2) and was the fourth game in succession in which they scored two or more goals.
The hosts are also unbeaten in their last four home games and have earned 18 points in 10 matches this season (W5 D3 L2). They beat this opponent 2-1 at this venue last term.
Meanwhile, Macarthur slipped yet another spot to eighth in the standings last week after losing to Melbourne Victory 4-1 on the road - their fourth league defeat in a row.
The Bulls are now winless in their last eight games and have conceded two or more goals in six matches during this period. They’ve shipped 11 goals in their last three games alone.
The visitors have picked up just 12 points from their 10 away matches this term and have scored only 11 goals on their travels, which is the second-fewest in the division.

Our Auckland FC vs Macarthur FC Prediction
Macarthur have endured a terrible run of form since exiting the AFC Champions League 2, now riding a four-match losing streak, while having shipped 11 goals in their last three league games alone.
Auckland, on the other hand, are now firmly back in the title race and just defeated the red-hot league leaders Newcastle Jets on the road. The Black Knights are ending the campaign with a flurry, and we feel they will pick up another three points in this one. Our Auckland FC vs Macarthur FC prediction is Auckland FC wins.
