The Wanderers host Macarthur in the 2023 opener in what is shaping up to be a season-defining contest between two contenders.
Macarthur go into this clash off the back of an emphatic win over Sydney FC, and they will be eager to repeat the feat against another Harbor City foe. Now it’s back-to-back wins for Macarthur, who hasn’t conceded a goal in more than 200 minutes of football.
The Wanderers are second in the table but have not won since before the World Cup break on November 12.
2 draws and a loss have been the sum of their work since play resumed with a 1-1 draw against Brisbane Roar, their most recent assignment.

Western Sydney Wanderers vs Macarthur FC match preview
Macarthur have been a pretty consistent team this year and are now starting to make strides forward, picking up back-to-back wins and moving up to third in the table. Last week, they were underdogs against Sydney, but they screwed them up from start to finish.
The Wanderers haven’t done much wrong in recent weeks, but they haven’t been able to get the 3 points. Fortunately for them, the form of their rivals has meant that they have not slipped down the table.
This clash is a real blockbuster with form in Macarthur’s favour, but experience and home track favor Wanderers.
We anticipate that they could split the points, with both teams reaching the score for a 1-1 result.
