Macarthur form
Macarthur are unbeaten and sit 3rd in the table with four points from two games. They beat Perth Glory 2-1 on 17 October and then drew with Newcastle Jets.
They haven't been convincing. Some previews note they needed a controversial penalty to beat Perth. But they have scored and conceded in both games (three scored, two conceded).
Sasa Ognenovski took over as coach in August after Mile Sterjovski left.
Western Sydney Wanderers form
The Wanderers are 2nd and also unbeaten, with four points. They opened with a 0-0 away at Sydney FC, then thrashed Auckland FC 5-2 at home on 24 October.
That was the biggest home win of the season so far, and it shows the attacking edge. It also carries a warning, as they conceded twice against the reigning premiers.
Ufuk Talay has been in charge since April. The club finished bottom last season, so the improvement is clear.
Head-to-head
The last five A-League meetings: Wanderers 2-1 Macarthur (16 Feb 2025), Macarthur 1-3 Wanderers (3 May 2025), Macarthur 1-1 Wanderers (1 Nov 2025), Wanderers 0-1 Macarthur (1 Jan 2026) and Macarthur 0-4 Wanderers (28 Feb 2026).
Both sides scored in three of those five. The two most recent games were one-sided or tight, so this is not an absolute trend. Overall, the Wanderers hold a slight historical edge.
