Recent respective form guides

Macclesfield Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Silkmen have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Bury's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the The Shakers, and 7 goals against.

Macclesfield are currently lying in 20th place in Npower League Two having mustered a points tally of 27 from their 24 matches played. Bury are just outside the promotion places, in 5th, having taken 40 points from 25 games.
