Recent respective form guides

Macclesfield Town's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Silkmen have scored 7, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Morecambe's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Shrimps have hit 8 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Macclesfield are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 32 points from 28 matches. Morecambe find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 34 points from their 31 matches.
