The FA Trophy defeat at the hands of Altrincham means that Kidderminster have now lost three of their last four in all competitions but bookies appear confident that Harriers can end a run of three consecutive home reverses by getting the better of Macclesfield.

Skybet make Gary Whild’s troops 21/20 to get the better of the high-flying Silkmen (3/1, BetVictor) at Aggborough, where bet365 mark 5/2 against it finishing with honours even.

That was the outcome in the reverse fixture at Moss Rose back in August and a repeat of the goalless scoreline from that encounter comes in at 9/1 via betway. Punters with their eye on that price meanwhile, might also consider bet365’s 15/4 about a score draw or Stan James’s 19/5 for the teams to be inseparable at the end of each half.

Cautious supporters noting the visitors’ impressive league position, may wish to back Kidderminster at 4/9 in BetVictor’s ‘Draw No Bet’ market but Harriers enjoy home advantage and that could prove crucial in what’s likely to be a tight affair.

Stan James chalk Whild’s charges up at 13/5 to shade it by a one-goal margin, it’s 4/1 at Winner.com for Kidderminster to prevail despite an inconclusive first period and in a fixture that’s 9/10 (Ladbrokes) to see both teams find the net, it’s 8/1 via BetVictor for Harriers to record a 2-1 success.

In attack, Jamie Spencer is a 13/2 chance at bet365 to break the deadlock and Paddy Power price the opener at 8/11 to come from any of Whild’s players. William Hill finally, cater for the confident, quoting the hosts at 9/4 to win ‘to nil’.
