Prediction: Brentford Win
This match pits a semi-professional league team against a professional club. Macclesfield knocked out FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the previous FA Cup round, so their strength cannot be underestimated. Brentford just drew with Arsenal in midweek, continuing their fine form. The Asian handicap for this match sets Brentford at -2 goals, a line they are very likely to cover.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Macclesfield Town
Perhaps the biggest compliment that can be paid to Macclesfield is that they were deserving winners against Crystal Palace despite the 117 places between the sides in the football pyramid at the time of their clash.The Silkmen also became the first team from the sixth tier to eliminate a Premier League club since the formation of the division.Head coach John Rooney was named the National League North manager of the month for January, and he has guided his players to seven wins from their last nine outings in all competitions.Macclesfield are sixth in the sixth tier with 48 points and occupy the fifth of six promotion playoff spots, though they do boast at least one game in hand on the rest of the top 15.The Silkmen have enjoyed six consecutive victories at home heading into their FA Cup clash on Monday, and they have in fact only been beaten once in their past 15 matches at the Leasing.com Stadium.

Brentford
Brentford have already advanced further in this season's edition of the FA Cup than they had in their prior three campaigns, though they have only once reached the fifth round in their 19 most recent attempts.Keith Andrews's side are unfortunate to not be coming into Monday's game on the back of a win against Arsenal, who they thoroughly outplayed on Thursday in the Premier League but ultimately drew 1-1 withThe Bees are seventh with 40 points in the top flight, and they are only two points from sixth-placed Liverpool and four from fifth-placed Chelsea.Andrews's side have claimed victory in seven of their past 11 contests in all competitions, with the club only suffering two losses in that time, scoring 20 goals and conceding on 10 occasions.Brentford's record on the road has also been positive given they have emerged as winners in five of their last six fixtures away from home.
