Macarthur vs Western Sydney Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | November 1st 2025

The action continues in round three of the Australian A-League as Macarthur and Western Sydney Wanderers lock horns at Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results last time out, with the Wanderers suffering a narrow defeat against Auckland FC.

Macarthur secured their first win of the new A-League campaign on Monday when they held on to see out a 2-1 victory over Adelaide United on home turf.

Before that, Mile Sterjovski’s side kicked off the league season with a 1-0 defeat against Brisbane Roar on October 17, one week before playing out a 1-1 draw with Vietnamese outfit Cong An Ha Noi in the AFC Champions League, where they sit second in Group E.

Macarthur have come into the new campaign looking to improve on their performance from last season, when they missed out on the playoffs following an eighth-placed finish in the league table.

Western Sydney Wanderers, on the other hand, picked up 46 points from their 26 A-League games last season to finish fourth in the standings and secure post-season football.

However, Alen Stajcic’s men saw their playoff journey come to an end in the first round on May 10, when they fell to a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Melbourne Victory.

Western Sydney have endured a slow start to the new campaign, picking up just one point from the first six available, having kicked off the season with a 1-1 draw against Melbourne City in the opening game on October 18, before losing 1-0 against Auckland last Saturday.
