Macarthur vs Auckland Predictions: Shared spoils forecast in New South Wales

A-League leaders Auckland are on the road on Monday as they face a Macarthur side unbeaten in six games at the Campbelltown Sports Stadium in New South Wales (08:00 kick-off, live on TNT Sports 1).

After three reverses in their opening five games, Macarthur have climbed the ladder by taking 11 points from the last 15 on offer.

Auckland remain in top spot despite suffering a couple of losses in their last five A-League outings, including a 3-1 home defeat to the Newcastle Jets on New Year's Day. Below are my Macarthur vs Auckland predictions and betting tips, as well as the latest team news and match odds for this A-League clash.

Football odds

Draw @ 23/10

After starting 2026 with a home loss to a Jets side who were reduced to 10 players after just 21 minutes, league leaders Auckland face a tough test as they visit Macarthur.

The Bulls are now unbeaten in six games in league and cup after overcoming Western Sydney with the only goal on Thursday.

They've won four of those six games and are putting memories of a slow start behind them. Auckland, last season's table-toppers, are top of the pile again but have lost two of their last five games and might have to settle for a share of the spoils here.

Over 2.5 goals @ 4/6

This looks likely to be an attacking contest. Six of the last eight of Auckland's A-League games have produced three goals or more, while Macarthur's final game of 2025 saw them edging a nine-goal thriller at Newcastle Jets on a 5-4 scoreline.

The home side are clearly intent on going after the win, as defender Walter Scott suggested: "We're in a really good moment andd we're really pumped up. We can't see anything but a win."

Prior to the win over Western Sydney, both teams had scored in four straight Macarthur games, while over 2.5 goals has landed in six of Auckland's last eight.
