Macclesfield Town form and stats

5 victories, 9 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Macclesfield Town have to build on here at Moss Rose Ground in the League Two. Macclesfield Town has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Kennedy and the players.

Stress levels are on the rise for Macclesfield Town's attacking players as they have now played 327 minutes without scoring in a league game. S. Tracey was their last goal scorer.

Macclesfield Town are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Plymouth Argyle. Preceding that match was the home game against Salford City that was lost 0-2.

Jonathan Mitchell had a busy but productive day in the Plymouth Argyle match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cheltenham Town are coming to town in three days.

The Macclesfield Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 18 matches. From these home matches, Macclesfield Town have conceded only 17 goals.

Walsall form and stats

7 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Walsall playing as the away team in the League Two this season.

Impressive finishing from Elijah Adebayo (2) and Rory Holden secured the home win 3-1 against Exeter City in their previous game. Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Port Vale.

After this away game Walsall return home for a League Two game against Oldham Athletic. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Walsall have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 19 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Walsall have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
