Perth Glory vs Macarthur Prediction
Macarthur's first win in almost two months put them back in charge of their destiny in their quest for a playoff spot. They will be looking to build on that with another win on Wednesday.
However, that will be easier said than done against a Perth Glory side that have boosted their playoff chances with impressive displays in recent weeks. The hosts are one of the most compact sides in the league and the game could be characterized by few goalscoring chances.
We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Perth Glory 1-1 Macarthur
