History of the Macclesfield Town v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City face a trip to Macclesfield Town at Moss Rose on Saturday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Victory has been gained on 3 of the 4 previous occasions for Bantams.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2009, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Two match.
