Bitesize Prediction: Hereford vs Macclesfield – 31/03/26

Competition: National League North

Market: Macclesfield win

Odds: 12/11 @ Pribet

Two sides who are firmly scrapping it out at opposite ends of the National League North standings, Macclesfield will travel to Hereford on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Hereford might have found themselves at the heart of a real purple patch on either side of opening March, the Bulls have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Free-falling back into the relegation spots, Aaron Downes’ men have an almighty battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their National League North status. Getting Tuesday’s showdown underway sat six points adrift of safety, the Whites look set for what will be another stern examination in midweek. Last seen on Saturday afternoon getting hit with a 2-0 loss at home against Buxton, Hereford have now lost all of their previous five consecutive appearances by an aggregate score of 13-4. Including a 4-1 drumming against AFC Fylde earlier in the month, Tuesday’s hosts have shown some worrying defensive issues. It should also be highlighted, Downes’ struggling squad have lost their last three straight matchups at Edgar Road by an aggregate score of 8-2.

As for the visitors, securing a deserved 2-0 victory away at Alfreton over the weekend, Macclesfield will be dreaming of a repeat display here. Battling it out at the top of the National League North standings, the Silkmen can also skyrocket themselves into bronze medal position. Sat firmly in the driving seat to punch a play-off ticket, John Rooney’s men will be confident of extending on their purple patch on Tuesday night. Travelling to Edgar Road pencilled in as a standout contender, the Cheshire-based outfit find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Including another 2-0 win away at Cursor Ashton on March 14th, Macclesfield have won four of their previous five National League North appearances. Likewise, Rooney’s promotion contenders have also won four of their last five showdowns away from Moss Rose. Securing a routine 3-1 victory when they welcomed Hereford to Cheshire for their reverse meeting on March 21st, we are expecting a similar outcome on Tuesday night.
