Macclesfield Town form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Macclesfield Town's two home games so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Moss Rose Ground.

The Macclesfield Town crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Morecambe here at Moss Rose Ground in a League Two match. A strong away win before that one, visiting Northampton Town and winning 2-1.

Macclesfield Town are traveling soon after this match as the Carabao Cup match at Grimsby Town awaits in three days.

Macclesfield Town has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games.

Scunthorpe United form and stats

No points yet away for Scunthorpe United, from their first 2 matches. Scunthorpe United are desperate to end a 14-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Southend United fixture. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

Scunthorpe United play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-3 to Cambridge United. A 2-2 draw was the result before that, hosting Crawley Town.

3 goals so far away for Scunthorpe United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 7. All from 2 matches.
