It not that the hosts are showing any promise with their play at the start of the season, but the visitors aren't looking impressive either. Macarthur is struggling to score points, so it will be hard to get a positive result in the away match against Western United. We believe that the fans' support will give the hosts extra energy, so we'll give preference to Western United.

Bet on total
The teams are doing well in attack, but the three-goal mark still seems too high to us. The opponents need points, so the opponents simply have to pay attention to defense. Most likely, we will not see more than three goals here.
Our prediction is total under three goals at 1.82
Bet on corners
In this match, we expect Western United to be superior not only in terms of the score, but also in various other parameters, including the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is Western United will take more corners with odds of 1.80
