Recent respective form guides

Crewe Alexandra's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While The Railwaymen have scored 5, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Macclesfield's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.

Crewe Alex.'s total of 9 points from their 5 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two. Macclesfield are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 5 from their 5 matches played.
