Most recently, they lost at home to Melbourne Victory by 1-2. Interestingly, this team has performed better away from home, achieving 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring 30 goals and conceding 20. Conversely, at home, they have managed only 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses, with 23 goals scored and 28 conceded. In the championship context, MacArthur has earned just 7 points from the last 30 available, with only 1 victory, 4 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 home games.

Out of 25 matches in the competition, they have only managed to turn around the scoreline in 2 of the 12 occasions when they conceded the first goal. MacArthur is now out of contention for the finals with only 33 points and 5 points behind Adelaide United, with only 3 matches remaining in the regular season. Consequently, they are likely to finish in 8th place, meaning their season objectives have not been met. In this 29th round, they will aim to end on a high note against Western Wanderers.
Team analysis: Wanderers
The visiting team currently occupies 3rd place, having gathered 43 points from 13 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 2-2 at home against Melbourne City. In their most recent fixture, they secured a 1-0 away victory against Newcastle Jets. Interestingly, this team has also fared better away, recording 8 wins, 6 draws, and just 1 loss in their last 30 matches as visitors, scoring 31 goals and conceding 18. At home, they have achieved 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, with a total of 37 goals scored and 25 conceded. In this competition, they remain unbeaten in their last 10 away games. While the team has allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, they have shown a robust attacking performance, scoring in every one of their last 10 games. Out of 25 matches in the A-League, they have conceded the first goal 14 times, managing to turn the score around on 5 occasions. The Western Wanderers have already secured their place in the final stages, and now their aim will be to achieve the best possible ranking, with a chance to finish in 2nd place, which would lead them into the semi-finals, or alternatively, they would compete in the quarter-finals. With 43 points, Western Wanderers are just 1 point off 3rd place and 2 points shy of 2nd place, currently held by Melbourne City. However, achieving that 2nd position will be challenging; even if they win this last match at MacArthur, they will need to rely on Melbourne City not winning their match. Thus, the focus for Western Wanderers will be on their performance, as the outcome is no longer solely in their hands.
The best prediction for this match is that Western Wanderers will win or draw (double chance) and both teams will score.
