MAC vs WEL Dream11: Macarthur responded well to their loss against Central Coast Mariners by seeing off Western United last time out to secure their spot in the finals. They will now take on in-form Wellington Phoenix who will look to join them in the top six with their unbeaten run now standing at ten matches. They could only draw with Perth Glory last time out which means they need to win this final game of the regular season to stand a chance at prolonging their season. The Phoenix will throw everything forward in this one and with Macarthur unlikely to match their intensity, Wellington can prevail in this one.

Likely Winner:
Wellington need all three points if they are to secure playoff qualification. This could see them play on the front foot, leaving space behind for Macarthur to exploit. Both sides like to play on the front foot and this could translate into plenty of goalmouth action. However, there is little to choose between the sides and we are predicting a share of the spoils with goals at both ends. In our MAC vs WEL Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-2 draw in this match.
