Macclesfield vs Workington tips and predictions

Macclesfield have all the advantages versus Workington but not much value in odds

It's second placed Macclesfield versus 15th placed Workington in this NPL Premier Division clash as the hosts look to pile on the pressure by adding to the 33-point gap between the sides.

The short price for the home side is not great value but their opponents are unlikely to have much success.

The hosts have registered 13 wins in 15 matches. Meanwhile the visitors have been beaten in their last 6 matches home or away. All the evidence points to one more loss here.

This home side is making the most of a recent purple patch and they're gaining some impetus. Macclesfield scored two or more goals in 15 of their recent 18 matches and their determination has been evident all over the field. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 10 of their last 11 games. They'll certainly see this as an opportunity to keep another clean sheet.

Workington have been vulnerable when they've lost their shape. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 11 matches. Ultimately the favourites might make short shrift of this particular challenge.

Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the blatant favouritism for Macclesfield. However, the odds-against for the BTTS No looks reasonable here.
