This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Grimsby Town and Macclesfield Town at 19:45 on Tuesday, 23rd February 2010 in the League Two.
|
Macclesfield face a trip to Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on Tuesday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Judging by past games, a draw is the most likely result for The Silkmen.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.
