Match Analysis
Brentford travel to Macclesfield as overwhelming favourites, but the hosts have been prolific in front of goal in their league and cup campaigns. While Brentford's Premier League pedigree should see them through, Macclesfield's attack and home momentum suggest they can make their mark, especially if Brentford rotate. Expect an open contest with a good chance of goals, though Brentford's quality should ultimately prevail.
