The last time the two teams met at Macclesfield was just over four years ago, in August 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Macclesfield Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.
Cheltenham T.'s away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. A generous 9 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 39 from their 37 matches played. Cheltenham T. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 36 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Macclesfield at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the The Silkmen will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
