Macarthur FC need wins to guarantee a top-six finish in the 2025-26 A-League, but their upcoming matchday 23 clash on Thursday is against leaders Newcastle United Jets. This match in Sydney between the sixth-placed Bulls and the first-placed Jets comes with our prediction of an away win.
Ahead of this round of games, Macarthur have 28 points (W7, D7, L8) and are just a point above the seventh-placed Central Coast Mariners. Only two points separate teams from sixth to ninth, so the race to top six is getting closer. The Jets have 43 points (W14, D1, L7) and have a four-point advantage over Auckland FC.
Macarthur won 2-1 away at Auckland to help the Jets, but it was their first win since mid-January. In fact, the Bulls failed to win six matches before this victory (D2, L4), including four defeats in a row.
Two of those losses have come at home, and Macarthur have been indifferent at this venue in recent times (W1, D2, L3).
Newcastle defeated Sydney 2-1 away from home last matchday to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Auckland one week before. The Jets have ten wins from their last 12 league games, although their away record is even better. Newcastle have won eight of their last nine away league games, drawing the other.
