Recent respective form guides
Accrington Stanley's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Reds have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Macclesfield's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The Silkmen's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 7 goals for and 5 against.
Accrington S.'s 15 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position. Macclesfield see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 13 points from their 11 games played so far,
