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 Silkmen have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Lincoln City's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the The Red Imps, and 6 goals against.

Macclesfield are stuck down in the relegation zone of Nationwide League Division Three with a return of just 38 points from their 38 games thus far. Lincoln City's total of 62 points from their 38 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide League Division Three.
