Witton go into the Easter weekend in the knowledge that they are mathematically safe from relegation following results on Good Friday.
Two games in three days is always a challenge and so much can be decided over the Easter period but not in this case as far as Albion are concerned.
Play off hopefuls Chasetown are Albion’s opponents on Saturday afternoon in their penultimate home fixture in the Northern Premier League West Division.
The Scholars go into the game in fifth place in the table and a win would almost guarantee their spot in the play offs.
Results in recent weeks have improved for Ben Harrison’s team and an excellent point at Vauxhall Motors last weekend took Albion over the coveted 50 point mark for the season.
Chasetown have collected silverware in recent days with the Staffordshire Senior Cup safely locked away following their 4-1 victory over Rushall Olympic, courtesy of a hat-trick from striker Joey Butlin which took his total for the season into double figures.
Midfielder and leading scorer Jack Langston has also been a major influence in the Scholars campaign this season and is always a danger to any opponent.
The reverse meeting between the two earlier in the season saw the Scholars come out on top in a close game with Kevin Spinelli replying for the Albion after Danny Glover had put the Scholars ahead.
Ben Lund restored Chasetown’s lead on the hour and that proved enough to seal the points.
In the five previous games, Witton have had the upper hand with three wins to Chasetown’s two so there is yet to be a draw between the two.
With nothing to play for now except trying to finish the season as high as possible, Witton will want to end the campaign in a positive manner and with nine points still on offer a mid table finish is a possibility.
The Scholars will have thoughts of the play offs and will provide a tough test so Witton will need to perform in order to pick up three more valuable points.
Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 3pm.
