Macarthur will invite Western Sydney Wanderers to Campbelltown Sports Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. The hosts have narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final series and will look to sign off with a win. The Wanderers are still in contention to finish second in the standings, given that they secure a win here.
The Bulls saw their unbeaten streak end after four games last week, suffering a 2-1 home loss to Melbourne Victory. After they conceded twice in the first half, Chris Ikonomidis scored a consolation goal after the break.
The visitors extended their unbeaten streak in the A-League to 11 games last week, recording a 1-0 away win over Newcastle Jets. Zac Sapsford scored in the 57th minute, with Brandon Borrello picking up his 10th assist of the league campaign.
