Momentum with Macc for Southport trip
FOUR consecutive wins have helped Macclesfield rocket up the National League and the Silkmen now make the short journey to the Merseyrail Community Stadium on Saturday hoping to continue this excellent run at Southport.
Bet365 offer even money that the visitors claim another three points, having enjoyed a fantastic 3-2 triumph at The Racecourse last weekend.
Kristian Dennis’ brace means that the forward now has eight goals in five matches and he’s naturally favourite at 4/1 (Stan James) to break the deadlock in this clash.
Southport are 21st in the table and will be determined to keep things tight, much as they did for most of the game at Eastleigh last week before conceding a late goal.
The Sandgrounders are 3/1 (Sky Bet) to claim victory, with the draw priced at odds of 5/2 (BetVictor).
However, Macclesfield will have their sights on the play-off spots after getting themselves into contention and you can get 21/10 (Paddy Power) that they lead at half-time and full-time in this clash. Alternatively, Winner.com have 4/1 that the game is level at half-time before the Silkmen run out winners come the final whistle. John Askey’s team have actually scored eight goals in their previous two away matches and a 4-1 win in their favour here is 30/1 (Ladbrokes), while Over 2.5 Goals looks like a decent shout at 10/11 (William Hill).
