Giant killers, Macclesfield, are out to slay another giant when they welcome Brentford to the Moss Rose in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Check out our match prediction.
Macclesfield are enjoying a great run in the National League North as they come into this crucial encounter seventh in the standings with 48 points accumulated. In fact, they find themselves in the play-off spots.
The sixth-tier side will want to build on this momentum in the FA Cup to secure progression to the fifth round for the first time in their club history. Many did not foresee them reaching the fourth round of this competition.
With determination and resilience, the Silkmen silenced the critics. In the third round, they faced Crystal Palace and caused the biggest upset, securing a 2-1 victory.
For Brentford, this means they won't be complacent going forward. However, they might still approach this game with a confident edge, having won two of their last three games (D1).
With the help of goals from Keane Lewis-Potter and Mathias Jensen, the Bees overcame Sheffield Wednesday with a comfortable 2-0 away victory. That triumph unfolded in the third round of the FA Cup.
The task heading into the fourth round is simple for Keith Andrews men: secure a win. Success would mean reaching the fifth round for the first time since 2019.

Our Macclesfield FC vs Brentford Prediction
Apart from becoming the first sixth-tier side in history to defeat a Premier League club in the FA Cup, scoring two goals was no child's play. It shouldn't come as a surprise for a side that is averaging 2.6 goals per game at home.
This is not the first time Brentford faced Macclesfield, having done so when they were still a League Two side between 2007 and 2009. They won two and lost two of their four meetings against this opponent. A lot has changed since then, meaning we could see them dominate this game. Our Macclesfield vs Brentford prediction: BTTS.
