Macclesfield to boost promotion hopes at Maidstone

Macclesfield to boost promotion hopes at Maidstone

On Wednesday night, Maidstone host National League leaders Macclesfield, as the visitors look to consolidate their position at the top of the table.

Maidstone have endured a mixed campaign and currently sit 16th place in the National League table, nine points clear of the relegation zone.

The home side has won their last two games in the league, last time out winning 1-0 against Sutton. This game will be United’s fourth successive home game and they will be looking to make it three out of four wins in that run of home fixtures.

The home side’s recent games in the National League have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games.

Maidstone have won just two of their last ten home games in the National League, although those wins have been in their last two leagues on home soil.

Macclesfield are top of the table and occupy the only automatic promotion spot in the National League. However, the north west side are only two points above second-place Sutton and this clash in Town’s game in-hand. A win in this clash could prove pivotal in the fight for the one promotion spot.

A 2-0 defeat at Dover Athletic last time out ended a five-game winning run for the visitors. However, John Askey’s side will see the defeat as just a blip if they can get back to winning ways in this encounter.

The visitor’s recent away record in the National League, winning twice and losing twice in their last four games on the road. Macclesfield’s recent home games on their travels have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their five away games in the National League.

Forebet predicts that Macclesfield will get back to winning ways, recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
