Recent respective form guides
Macclesfield Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Silkmen have scored 8, a worringly large 17 have been leaked at the other end.
Rotherham U.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The The Millers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 4 against.
Macclesfield find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 13 points from their 12 matches. Rotherham U. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 12 matches.
