Macclesfield – Brentford Prediction FA-Cup, 4th round on Monday, 16/02/26 at 20:30
The club from the sixth division has beaten none other than Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and the German bookmakers will make the same mistake in the coming round as in the previous one – they continue to underestimate the underdog excessively!
A Macclesfield Brentford bet on the home side would still be too daring for me, but fortunately there are handicap bets.
In this case, I deliberately decide to win Macclesfield with HC +2 at odds around 2.10. Because while the amateur club has been able to focus fully on this encounter for weeks, the “Bees” are rushing from one important Premier League appearance to the next.
Macclesfield vs. Brentford AI Predictions:
Our Macclesfield Brentford AI prediction seems to have a heart for amateur clubs, because it sees the London guests moving into the 5th round, but this encounter should not be too one-sided, even according to our digital bettor.
The recommendation: Both teams score at odds around 1.90 has by the way immediately made it onto my betting slip.
The odds are outstanding and whoever has scored a brace against Crystal Palace can also net against Brentford. Especially since The Blatant Outsider has already proven that he can still find his game against seasoned professional footballers!

Do you think success is contagious and tempts you to even more success? In any case, sixth-division Macclesfield FC have won their last six home games in their tranquil 5,300-capacity arena, scoring at least one brace in each of them.
Macclesfield’s prediction of 1.5 goals is and remains snotty somewhere, but since you can aim for an attractive fivefold increase in your stake in the course of Betano sports betting, I would just try it with a very low stake for fun.
And that’s exactly why I’m not critical of my personal risk bet Ascension: Macclesfield at odds around 6.40 – only then is a football bet worth it at all!
Because for the big favorite to advance, you can only expect microscopic values from any bookmaker anyway.
