Swindon vs Macclesfield Predictions

Swindon Town made it back to back wins when they beat Leyton Orient 3-1 away last weekend, while Macclesfield extended their unbeaten run to four games after drawing 1-1 at home with Crawley Town.

All of the stats suggest that Saturday’s clash will produce goals and with both teams in decent form we’re backing the match to end all square.

When these two teams clash they usually produce goals, especially in recent seasons, and the pair have been involved in a large amount of goals-filled games during the last month or so. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in the last three meetings between these two clubs and over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Swindon’s and three of Macclesfield’s last six matches.

Both teams head into the game in good form with Swindon having only lost two of their last six matches and Macclesfield suffering just one defeat in their last six matches. Swindon have drawn two of their last five matches and Macclesfield have drawn two of their last three, and while these two sides have never played out a stalemate before we believe Saturday’s game will also end all square.

Another reason we are expecting goals this weekend is down to both clubs recent defensive records, as Swindon haven’t kept any clean sheets in their last six attempts and Macclesfield have only kept one clean sheet during that same period but both teams have been scoring goals. Swindon Town have scored eight goals in their last three matches, while Macclesfield have netted five times in their last three outings, adding more weight to our prediction of over 2.5 goals being scored on Saturday.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Saturday’s clash and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. As mentioned above, these two clubs have never drawn before but both teams are offering us plenty of reasons to back a stalemate this weekend, and there has to be a first time for everything. We’re expecting goals in this game as these two sides like to attack and haven’t been keeping many clean sheets of late.
