Macarthur and Auckland are separated by two points, making their matchday 17th fixture a crucial top-half six-pointer in the 2025-26 A-League competition. This match on Monday in Sydney between the fourth-placed Bulls and the first-placed Black Knights comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
Macarthur’s 18 points from 11 matches (W5, D3, L3) see them start this round two points behind leaders Auckland, who have 20 points from ten matches (W6, D2, L2). With only three points separating the top five teams, this match could be crucial in the long run.
A 1-0 away win at Western Sydney Warriors on New Year’s Day started the year positively for Macarthur. They have three wins from their last four league games now, drawing the other.
It’s their home form that Macarthur should be worried about. They have won only one of their last four home league games (D2, L1), although that win came in their most recent fixture.
Auckland were beaten 3-1 at home by Newcastle Jets on New Year’s Day, missing a chance to extend their lead at the top. That defeat came after three consecutive league wins, each seeing them score 2+ goals.
They have been impressive on the road this season in the league, winning their last three away league matches, each time scoring exactly twice.
