In this week 8 match on the 26th of January, Macarthur will play host to Perth Glory in a meeting of these two A-League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a wet but warm day with daytime temperatures of 23 degrees with the possibility of light rain, which is great football weather. Macarthur is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Sydney. Patrick Wood scored the first goal for Sydney in the 11th minute, then Max Burgess added another in the 29th minute In the end, Macarthur was frustrated by Sydney’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Sydney ended the match with the shutout victory. Macarthur should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while perth Glory is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Brisbane Roar. Henry Hore struck first for Brisbane Roar in the 77th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Perth Glory couldn’t manage to score, and Brisbane Roar took the shutout win. Perth Glory looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Macarthur won the head to head battle with 1 win and 2 draws.
Perth Glory’s most prolific scorer has been Fornaroli Mezza. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Rose and Oliver Božanić are the top scorers for Macarthur in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
