[Australia A-League Today's Pick] Macarthur vs Wellington Phoenix

Details:

In the Australia A-League, Macarthur will play Wellington Phoenix at Campbelltown Stadium on Matchday 20. On March 28, 2021, Macarthur won 1-0. Both teams have met twice in the last two seasons. Macarthur has only won one match, whereas Wellington Phoenix has lost all of their matches. Recent games have averaged 1.50 goals, with both sides scoring 50% of the time.

Macarthur's most recent match, against Western United, finished in a 2-1 win on the road. Macarthur was a dangerous attacker, having fired two rounds at the target. Macarthur had a great first half, scoring in the 27th and 31st minutes.

The latest match between the Wellington Phoenix and Perth Glory FC concluded in a 2-2 tie at home. The midfielders let the team down. They couldn't hold possession and didn't create many chances for the strikers. Wellington Phoenix scored in the 24th and 80th minutes after having strong chances in both half.

Macarthur has performed better on the road than at home thus far. They average 1.77 points per game away from home, compared to 1.33 points at home. Despite being one of the league's most reliable home teams, Macarthur is far from flawless. With only 17% of home clean sheets, their defense isn't quite up to par.

The Phoenix have accumulated 10 points in their last six league games. It's fascinating that they like to perform on the road. The Wellington Phoenix have averaged 1.42 points per game on the road, compared to 1.38 at home. They need to be more compact on defense to enhance their outcomes. Only 25% of the time did the Wellington Phoenix have a clean sheet.

It's difficult to pick a favorite from this collection. Both sides appear to be evenly balanced and have their own distinct strengths. I'm not willing to take any chances. My prediction is Draw or Wellington Phoenix.
