Macclesfield vs Brentford prediction
John Rooney, the brother of Wayne, oversaw Macclesfield produce perhaps the biggest upset in the history of the FA Cup as Macc defeated holders Crystal Palace by two goals to one in the third round last month. They have since moved themselves into playoff contention in the National League North, too, in excellent form.
Brentford have surpassed all expectations this season with Keith Andrews at the helm as the Bees chase a top six or seven finish and potential European qualification in the Premier League. Brentford managed to peg league leaders Arsenal back to a 1-1 draw at the Gtech Community Stadium the other day.
Brentford are a team used to physicality and so that won’t bother them too much and lightning doesn’t strike twice so, while it has been a great story, a comfortable away win is to be expected here.
Macclesfield vs Brentford tip: Brentford to win to nil
