Macclesfield prepare to entertain Torquay United at Moss Rose on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 7 previous games, with the Silkmen winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Moss Rose was less than a year ago, in April 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Macclesfield Town's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Silkmen have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Torquay Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with an unbeaten run in the last six, four of them victories. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Gulls, and 6 goals against.
Macclesfield find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 9 games have yielded only 2 points. Torquay Utd.'s total of 16 points from their 9 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Silkmen at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Gulls come away with an easy victory. Away win
