T minus 2. Two matches to go.
This match - a trip to Macclesfield who, after 37 games have guaranteed themselves a place in the play offs. Last year of course, Macclesfield won the NPL West. They ran away with the title, winning the league by 14 points from Leek Town. Reds joined them in promotion, but had to do it the hard way via the play offs. Macclesfield are chasing their 3rd consecutive promotion.
Macclesfield are 2nd with 74 points from 37 games
Reds are 15th with 41 points from 38 games
Macclesfield at home 12-3-4
Reds away 3-5-11

9 March Macclesfield 3-0 Coalville Town (FATQF)
2 March Macclesfield 2-1 Marine
Macclesfield overall since 1 March 8-0-2
Reds overall since 1 March 2-0-6
Macclesfield have won six league games on the bounce. Reds have lost six league games on the bounce.
Macclesfield have scored 81 goals - second best in the league. Reds have scored 65 goals.
Macclesfield have conceded 43 goals - the second best defence in the league. Reds have conceded 78 goals - second worst in the league.
On paper, Macclesfield should win this with ease. But they are the only team currently guaranteed a play off berth. Will they be preserving players / energy for the play offs and therefore be an opportunity for a Reds smash & grab?
Come on you Reds
