Recent respective form guides

Macclesfield Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Silkmen have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Barnet's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Macclesfield are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 43 from their 44 matches played. Barnet find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 48 points from their 44 matches.
