Bury face a trip to Macclesfield Town at Moss Rose on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 6 games played, The Shakers have recorded 1 wins, and Macclesfield have come away with 3 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Macclesfield Town's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While The Silkmen have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Bury's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The The Shakers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 7 against.
Macclesfield see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 20 points from their 18 games played so far, Bury's total of 31 points from their 18 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League Two.
