Witton go in search of their first away win of the season when they travel to Prescot Cables on Saturday afternoon in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
Witton left it late in claiming the three points against Widnes last weekend but the result was the most important thing as it enabled Jon Macken’s team to climb into the top ten.
Prescot are currently fifth in the table following their win over Merseyside neighbours City of Liverpool FC in midweek, so will go into the game in confident mood but an Albion victory would see them leapfrog their opponents.
The two meetings between the sides last season saw victories for the home side on each occasion with Cables edging the game at The Joseph Russell Stadium by the odd goal in three.
Former Albion striker Kyle Sambor decided the game in Cables favour after Harry McGee had equalised for Witton.
The game at the U Lock it Stadium in March was another close affair with Albion midfielder James Lawrie’s goal proving decisive.
There are still a number of faces in the Prescot Cables squad familiar to Witton supporters in Matty Devine, James Foley and the aforementioned Kyle Sambor, they will be hoping to get the better of their former employers but Witton will be looking to put a run of results together in order to climb the table.
Kick off at The Joseph Russell Stadium is 3pm.
