History of the Macclesfield Town v Swansea City fixture

Macclesfield prepare to entertain Swansea City at Moss Rose on Tuesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 2 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Moss Rose was just last season, in February 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division Three match.
