Two sides that simply cannot be separated. Scarborough have gone 1 win, 4 draws and 0 defeats across their last five outings, while Macclesfield are unbeaten too: 2 wins and 3 draws. Neither team has lost a single match in this head-to-head run, and the replay three days ago ended 2-2 at Macclesfield's ground. These are disciplined, low-variance sides operating at the same ceiling.
The numbers that matter: Scarborough kept 3 clean sheets in 5 games and scored in only 3 of those 5. Macclesfield scored in 4 of 5 but conceded in just 3. All four head-to-head meetings produced 5 goals for, 5 against - tight margins across the board. Only 1 of Scarborough's last 5 games went over 2.5, and only 2 of Macclesfield's did the same.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.70-1.75 is the price. The pattern across both form runs and all four h2h meetings points firmly to a controlled, low-scoring affair. A semi-final adds further caution. Take the under.
