The H2H record is extremely low-scoring: only 1 of 10 meetings went over 2.5 goals, and none saw both teams score. Derived metrics show both Macclesfield at home and Chester away have a 0% over 2.5 rate across 23 games each, strongly supporting a low-scoring affair. With both teams having full squads and no major form shifts, under 2.5 goals is highly probable.

The H2H record shows zero BTTS occurrences in the last 10 meetings, and derived metrics indicate both Macclesfield at home and Chester away have a 0% BTTS rate across 23 games each. The average goals per H2H meeting is just 0.9, reinforcing the likelihood of at least one team failing to score. This aligns with the under 2.5 goals market and suggests a clean defensive performance from one side.
💡 Both teams must score at least 1 goal each
