Wellington Phoenix vs Macarthur FC Prediction: Can the home team allow a defeat?

Sky Stadium is scheduled as the host venue for the match between Wellington Phoenix and Macarthur FC in the Australia A-League Round 26. Wellington Phoenix will hope to secure a win on their home soil and maintain their top standing in the league table. On the other hand, Macarthur FC will hope to secure a win as they will be playing on the road following their winning streak of two. Make your wagers on the information listed below.

Wellington Phoenix have gained seven points during their last five encounters. Currently, they are ranked in the top standing in the league table, having gained 50 in 26 matches this season. They were recorded with one loss, one tie, and three wins in their last five encounters. They suffered defeat in their match against Central Coast Mariners while tied in their recent match against Newcastle Jets. However, they were victorious against Melbourne Victory, Brisbane Roar, and Sydney FC. During these matches, they have scored six while conceding four.

Macarthur FC will enter this match with the hope of securing a win as they hope to extend their winning ways to three. Macarthur FC extended their winning ways to two with a 1-0 home win against Sydney FC last weekend. Before the match, they were victorious in their match against Adelaide United. Although, they suffered defeats in their matches against Western United and WS Wanderers. Nevertheless, they emerged a win in their match against Brisbane Roar. During these matches, they have scored eight goals while conceding nine.

During their last five previous matches against one another, Wellington Phoenix and Macarthur FC were recorded in scoring against one another in three matches while scoring above two goals resulted in four matches. Wellington Phoenix won in four matches while Macarthur FC won in one.

I think both teams should not find it hard to find the net here since both teams have displayed a scoring outcome in their matches against one another in their head-to-head matches. So, I expect them to score several goals here. Even though we expect a scoring matchup, we can still expect the home team to secure a win since they hope to avoid a defeat on their home soil and maintain their top-ranked position in the league.
