Matchday 12 action in the A-League brings us a Sydney Derby, with Macarthur playing host to Sydney FC at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Saturday. The Bulls are in third place, while the Sky Blues are second in the standings after 10 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Macarthur remained within two points of league leaders Auckland FC after holding the defending Premiers to a hard-fought 1-1 draw at this venue on Monday.
That result extended the Bulls’ unbeaten streak in the top flight to seven games (W4 D3), which is their longest run without a league defeat across the last two A-League seasons.
However, the hosts will be looking for improvement on their home patch. They are unbeaten in three, but have only earned nine points from six matches at this venue this season (W2 D3 L1).
Meanwhile, Sydney FC failed to capitalise on the sides around them dropping points earlier this week, as they played to a goalless draw away to Melbourne City over the weekend.
Following a 2-0 loss to the Newcastle Jets before Christmas, the Sky Blues have now failed to score in two consecutive league games for the first time in the last two seasons.
The visitors have taken 10 points from a possible 21 on the road this season (W3 D1 L3), but they have won four of their last five at this venue.

Our Macarthur FC vs Sydney Prediction
While Sydney are the favourites in this match and have a very good record at this venue, they have failed to score in their last two games and were extremely underwhelming against Melbourne City in their last match.
Macarthur, meanwhile, are now unbeaten in seven games after holding league leaders Auckland to a well-earned draw. The hosts have greater momentum coming into this one, and we feel they will take something from this match. Our Macarthur FC vs Sydney FC prediction is Macarthur or X.
