Macclesfield vs Plymouth Prediction

Macclesfield failed to return to winning ways last week after Exeter got the better of them in a fiercely fought five-goal thriller. Despite initially trailing by a 2-0 scorecard in the early stages of the game, the hosts mustered a stellar comeback and brought themselves back on level terms close to the hour mark.

However, a late goal from Ryan Bowman tipped the scales in favor of the counterparts, making it their fourth defeat in just five games. At the moment, the hosts are sitting twenty third on the ladder, just above rock bottom side Stevenage.

On the other hand, Plymouth completed back to back wins with a 2-1 victory over Crewe in their most recent matchup. The visitors have now stumbled just once in their past eight games in the fourth division. With sixty points to their name, the guests are deservedly one among the top four sides in the cluster.

It is also worth mentioning that the hosts are yet to ensure any sort of consistency at home. Miserably, they have secured the bragging rights in just two of their previous nine games here. In sharp contrast, Plymouth have come out on top in five of their past six outings.

Given the evident difference in form, the win is more than likely to swing in favor of Plymouth in this one.

Furthermore, to be frank, the visitors have been found napping at the back far too many times on the road, and have been forced to outscore their foes, more often than not. In fact, they have conceded a goal or more in five of their previous seven clashes away from home.

Additionally, Macclesfield have found the back of the net in each of their past four h2h meetings here. Considering that the reverse fixture of this matchup also witnessed both teams get their names on the scoresheet together, expect neither side to keep a clean sheet intact this week.
