Recent respective form guides

Cheltenham Town need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Robins have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Macclesfield's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Silkmen have hit 8 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cheltenham T. find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 14 points from their 12 matches. Macclesfield find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 13 points from their 12 matches.
