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.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Spireites's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.

Macclesfield are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 39 from their 40 matches played. Chesterfield lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League Two, picking up 59 from their 39 games so far.
