History of the Barnet v Macclesfield Town fixture

Barnet prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, having won 5 and lost only 2 of the 9 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Barnet's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bees have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Macclesfield's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the The Silkmen, and 12 goals against.

Barnet are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 13 from their 16 matches played. Macclesfield find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 14 points from their 15 matches.
