Show Preview
The A-League’s two youngest clubs go head to head this evening when Western United host Macarthur FC at Ballarat’s Mars Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores of the clash from 5:05pm (AEDT).
Macarthur’s first foray into the top tier of Australian football has gone about as well as could have been expected. They’ve won half of their games, and are sitting quite comfortably in second place behind only the high-flying Mariners.
The Bulls’ last two outings have been particularly impressive: a 2-0 upset win away to the Roar followed by a 4-0 drubbing of the mid-table Adelaide United makes for some imposing recent form.
Western United, on the other hand, have hardly been able to get on the piece lately. They haven’t played since February 7, when they played out a thrilling 3-2 loss on the Central Coast. Since then, the COVID pandemic and Victoria’s short lockdown has played havoc with their fixture list, forcing the postponement of last week’s game against Sydney.
With only five games played for the season – three fewer than Macarthur – it’s not worth reading too much into United’s lowly position on the ladder, and they’ll just be hoping to get some continuity into their play in the coming rounds.
