History of the Lincoln City v Macclesfield Town fixture

Lincoln City prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Sincil Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Red Imps are clearly on top, winning 9 and drawing 4 of the 14 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Sincil Bank Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2010, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Two match.
