Macarthur FC vs Central Coast Mariners
Wednesday, March 4, 2026 – Campbelltown Sports Stadium (7:00pm AEDT)
Preview:
Macarthur got absolutely smack by the Wanderers last week in a horrid 4-0 loss. Mariners meanwhile held Newcastle to an even more putrid 0-0, but finally looked organised enough to ruin someone’s weekend properly.
Macarthur at home will try to slow it down and make it ugly, because they clearly can’t handle open games right now. CCM will be happy to sit in, frustrate, and wait for Macarthur to force something dumb.
This screams tight, tense, and low-scoring unless Macarthur melt again.

Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix
Friday, March 6, 2026 – Coopers Stadium (7:35pm AEDT)
Preview:
Adelaide also had a stale mate, ending one a piece with Victory, and they’ve been annoyingly consistent – even if they’re not brilliant.
Wellington had the week from hell, losing 1–0 to Sydney after already being belted the week before, so confidence is fragile.
Can’t see Phoenix’s bad run getting much better here, plus Adelaide will want to bounce back at home and push themselves for another two points – which should be secured easily.

Newcastle Jets vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Saturday, March 7, 2026 – McDonald Jones Stadium (5:00pm AEDT)
Preview:
As we called it last week – Newcastle’s winning streak finally stalled in Round 19 with a draw against CCM – but they still look like the top side when the game opens up.
Wanderers absolutely bullied Macarthur with a lazy 4 point victory, which is the first time in ages they’ve looked like a team with teeth.
The Jets will press high and try to get it played in WSW’s half, while the Wanderers will want to stay physical and break fast. If WSW can survive the first 20 without conceding, this gets interesting.
Newcastle still feel the safer pick at home.

Sydney FC vs Melbourne Victory
Saturday, March 7, 2026 – Allianz Stadium (7:35pm AEDT)
Preview:
It wasn’t pretty, but Sydney came away with the 3 points and they nicked a big 1–0 away win in Wellington in.
Victory drew with Adelaide and still look capable, but they also have that classic habit of drifting in games they should control.
Sydney at home will try to start fast and actually put someone away for once, while Victory will back themselves to absorb and counter.
This should have goals if either side scores early, because both can get messy chasing. Sydney at Allianz, but it’s close.

Auckland FC vs Perth Glory
Sunday, March 8, 2026 – Go Media Stadium (1:00pm AEDT)
Preview:
Auckland were ruthless in Round 19, smashing City 3–0, playing with that “we expect to win” swagger.
Perth came off a 1–1 draw with Brisbane, still fighting but still leaking moments.
Auckland are on a mission to get back on top, and at home will try to dominate territory and grind Perth down, while Glory’s plan is basically “hang in, steal something, run”.
If Perth let Auckland get on top early, it can get ugly fast. Auckland should win this.
