Match preview: Adelaide United vs Macarthur
Adelaide United and Macarthur clash at Coopers Stadium in a match of the 23rd round of the A-League. In their last encounter in this competition on 06‑01-2025, Adelaide United secured a 1‑2 victory. The head-to-head history at this stadium favours the home side, with Adelaide winning 3 of the last 5 encounters, one match ending in a draw and one defeat. Nonetheless, in their most recent clash at Coopers Stadium on 12‑04‑2024, Macarthur triumphed 1‑2. Notably, N. Irankunda scored for Adelaide United, while A. Piol and Tommy Smith netted for Macarthur. Special attention must be paid to the different performances of both teams at home and away, as their results significantly differ in these conditions.
Team analysis: Adelaide United
With 9 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, the home side sits in 5th position, having amassed 33 points. In their latest outing, they drew 1‑1 against Brisbane Roar at home, following a high-scoring draw away against Auckland (4‑4). Interestingly, Adelaide United has shown a stronger performance as the away team, with stats showing 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 games on the road compared to 6 wins, 7 draws, and 2 losses at home. In their last 10 home matches in the league, their record stands at 3 wins, 5 draws, and 2 losses, earning 14 points from a possible 30. Defensive solidity has been a concern, as they have conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 outings, but the attack has been consistent, scoring in 9 of those matches. Notably, 9 of their last 10 games in the competition featured more than 1.5 goals. In 19 league matches, they managed to come back from trailing in 4 of the 11 games where they conceded first. In their last 10 home league games, they scored 6 of their 17 goals during the latter part of the first half (31’–45′).
Adelaide United’s form has been declining, and they currently occupy 5th place. Earlier in the season, they were contending for the top spot with Auckland but unexpectedly lost to Newcastle Jets (1-2) at home, followed by a heavy defeat against Western United (3-0). Despite a thrilling draw in Auckland, their most recent match at home resulted in just a 1-1 draw against the bottom-placed team. In this crucial 23rd round, they host Macarthur, who are struggling in the A-League. A victory is essential for Adelaide United to maintain their position among the top six and secure a place in the playoff stages.
Team analysis: Macarthur
With 7 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses, the away side is in 8th place, having garnered 25 points. In their last match, they lost to Melbourne City (2‑0) after previously suffering a defeat at home to Sydney (0‑2). Surprisingly, Macarthur has been more effective away from home; in their last 30 matches, they achieved 10 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses as visitors, compared to 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at home. In the league, they have notched up 16 points from 30 possible, with a record of 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses from their last 10 away games. The most common scoreline at half-time for their matches in the league has been 0-0, occurring in 4 of their last 10 fixtures. Defensive frailty has been an issue, as they have conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 games, but their attack has remained consistent, finding the net in 8 of those encounters. Notably, 8 of their last 10 league games have finished with over 2.5 goals. Out of 20 games in the league, they have only managed to reverse their fortunes in 1 of the 8 matches where they conceded the first goal.
Macarthur is currently in a challenging phase, having gone five consecutive matches without tasting victory. This is an unusual scenario for a team that typically does not struggle for form. They suffered three successive defeats, with the latest being against Melbourne City, where they failed to score. Facing Adelaide United will not be an easy task to regain momentum. With a six-point deficit from 6th place, any result other than a victory could be detrimental to their aspirations of climbing up the table to secure a playoff position.
