Gillingham play host to Macclesfield Town at Priestfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The two sides drew on their own previous meeting.
The only previous meeting between Gillingham and Macclesfield at was more than a decade ago, in October 1998, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division Two match.
