Macclesfield Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Silkmen have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Silkmen at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Reds come away with an easy victory. Away win
