:The A-League Men's Round 10 fixture between Perth Glory and Macarthur FC is set to take place on Friday, December 27, 2024, at HBF Park in Perth, Western Australia. This match marks a significant encounter as Perth Glory seeks to build on their first win of the season, while Macarthur FC aims to extend their unbeaten streak.

Perth Glory, who had been struggling at the bottom of the ladder, finally secured their first victory in the campaign against Brisbane Roar last weekend. David Williams' goal 21 minutes from time was the decisive factor, giving Perth their first win and moving them to 12th place with five points. Coach David Zdrilic's tactical switch to a 4-4-2 formation, with Williams and potentially Adam Taggart leading the line, could be crucial in their bid to secure back-to-back wins.

Macarthur FC, currently fifth on the ladder, are on their longest unbeaten run of the season, having won once and drawn three of their last four games. Despite being on course for back-to-back victories against Central Coast Mariners last time out, they were held to a 1-1 draw. Macarthur's attacking lineup, featuring Daniel De Silva, Marin Jakolis, and top scorer Valere Germain, will be a formidable challenge for Perth Glory.

The match kicks off at 7:45 p.m. local time (AWST) and can be streamed live on Paramount+, with a seven-day free trial available for new subscribers.

Predicted Lineups:
- Perth Glory: Cook (GK) — Risdon, Canga, Mrcela, Warland — Ostler, Pennington, O'Neill, Anasmo — Williams, Taggart.
- Macarthur FC: Kurto (GK) — Adamson, Uskok, Jurman, Vujica — Brattan, Hollman — Jakolis, De Silva, Drew — Germain.

Prediction:
Given the recent form of both teams, the match is expected to be closely contested. However, Macarthur's unbeaten streak and Perth's struggle to maintain consistency suggest a draw could be the likely outcome.
