On the 16th of October, in this week 2 match, Macarthur plays host to Adelaide United in a meeting of these two closely matched A-League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 7th placed Macarthur is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Brisbane Roar. Neither Brisbane Roar nor Macarthur could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 12 and 7 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Macarthur looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 0 of their last 10, while in their last match, Adelaide United recorded a 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix. Waine scored the first goal for Wellington Phoenix in the 75th minute, but Ben Halloran got the equalizer for Adelaide United in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Ryan Kitto and Javi López are the top scorers for Adelaide United in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Macarthur is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Craig Noone and Tomi Juric each only have 1 goal in their last 5.
