Recent respective form guides

Braintree Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Iron have scored 8, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Macclesfield Town's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Silkmen's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Braintree Town are stuck down in the relegation zone of Blue Square (Conference) Premier with a return of just 23 points from their 20 games thus far.
