Macarthur square off against Perth Glory on Saturday looking to end a four-match winless streak in the A-League.
While the visitors are battling to avoid being cut adrift of the top four, 10th-placed Glory face the same predicament regarding the teams directly above them.
We say: Perth Glory 1-2 Macarthur
With both teams showing little form in recent games, this contest may be lacking in quality.
However, Macarthur are in a position where they have more freedom to throw caution to the wind, leading us to predict a narrow win for the visitors.
