The most recent encounter between these two sides at Moss Rose was just last season, in August 2005, the Silkmen carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Macclesfield Town need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Silkmen have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Bury's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The Shakers have conceded 6 goals in these games, and only hit 3 in reply.
Macclesfield find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 13 games have yielded only 4 points. Bury are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 12 matches.
