MACCLESFIELD TOWN v NORTH FERRIBY
Saturday 1st October 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – National League Betting Tips
Macclesfield Town have been presented a great opportunity to reduce the three-point deficit on the National League leaders Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday afternoon when they play host to lowly North Ferriby United at the Moss Rose ground.
Five league wins from their last six matches has lifted The Silkmen up into third spot and three points within the top position of the National League, and with Dagenham playing fifth placed Tranmere Rovers this afternoon, Macclesfield could open the door here.
Macclesfield’s home record stands at 4-0-2 12/5 which is a reasonable return so far, but in recent weeks they’ve been slightly inconsistent on home turf, so I’m expecting them to fully focus on gaining all three points here today in order to keep the pressure up on the league leaders.
Visitors North Ferriby currently occupy one of the early relegation places as they sit in 21st place with three league wins to their name so far; two of which have been recorded at their Eon Visual Media Stadium with wins over Guiseley and Torquay United.
However, they have registered just one away win all season which was at Gateshead in a shock away win, but overall they have struggled on their travels to put any sort of run together, following five losses on the road already this season.
Defeats at Lincoln City 6-1, 2-0 defeats at Dover Athletic, Aldershot Town and Eastleigh respectively along with defeat last time out at Dagenham & Redbridge (again, by a 2-0 scoreline) means they possess a miserable away record of 1-0-5 2/14.
With North Ferriby’s leaky defence, I’m confident Macclesfield can cover the -1 asian handicap line here.
