We said: Perth Glory 1-0 Macarthur
Perth Glory have been very solid at home all season, defeating third-placed Western Sydney Wanderers 1-0 in their last match at HBF Park, and they should be able to eke out a narrow victory on Saturday.
Macarthur showed signs of improvement in the 1-1 draw against Melbourne City last time out, but their form has otherwise been patchy in recent weeks, and it is too early to say they have turned the corner.
