Silkmen at threes to land coveted play-off slot

MACCLESFIELD still have a chance of making the play-offs following the triumph over Dartford but their fate isn’t in their own hands.

The Silkmen, now 3/1 with BetVictor to end up in the top five, must defeat Torquay and hope for a slip-up from either Forest Green or Eastleigh if they are to extend a campaign that at once stage had promised so much.

Ladbrokes price John Askey’s men at 11/10 to keep up their side of the bargain by getting the better of the Gulls, who are 13/5 chances via Stan James and William Hill rate the pair at 11/4 to share the spoils, an outcome that’s no good for Town due to their inferior goal difference.

They’ll have to go for it then and a match tally of three or more goals therefore catches they eye at 19/20 (bet365).

Those are 8/1 courtesy of Paddy Power to be shared 2-1 in Macclesfield’s favour and Winner.com quote odds of 13/5 about any away triumph by a one goal margin at Plainmoor, where betway chalk the Silkmen up at 4/1 to prevail despite a level first period.

The clash meanwhile, is likely to see both teams find the net (8/11, Skybet) and it’s 8/13 at Stan James for Town to notch first.

In the other two crucial games, BetVictor go 15/2 about Eastleigh going down at home to Kidderminster and bet365 rate Dover at 11/2 to stun Forest Green, although a draw (3/1, Stan James) in that one would still leave the door ajar for Askey’s team.
