Notts. County prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Meadow Lane on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Magpies.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Meadow Lane was just last season, in January 2005, where Macclesfield annihilated the Magpies 0-5 in a League Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Notts. County at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Magpies will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
