History of the Carlisle United v Macclesfield Town fixture

Macclesfield face a trip to Carlisle United at Brunton Park Stadium on Saturday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 1 wins from the previous 4 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, the Cumbrians carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Carlisle United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Cumbrians have scored 5, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Macclesfield is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Silkmen have hit 5 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Carlisle find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 5 points. Macclesfield are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 12 points from 13 matches.
