History of the Bradford City v Macclesfield Town fixture

Bradford City play host to Macclesfield Town at Intersonic Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Bantams won the only previous game contested between the two.

The only previous meeting between Bradford City and Macclesfield at was way back in the black-and-white days of November 1970, as the Bantams squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Bradford City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bantams have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Macclesfield's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Silkmen have hit 6 goals, 17 have hit the back of the wrong net.
