Witton Albion v. Mossley

Witton look to make it seven win in seven on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Mossley in what will be another crucial and tough game.

The Lilywhites edged a close game at Seel Park earlier in the season, winning courtesy of a Mason Fawns free-kick but a lot has changed since then.

Going into the game, the two teams are separated by two points but Albion have two games in hand on their opponents.

Mossley have lacked consistency in recent weeks, losing four of their last seven games but are more than capable of going on another winning run, especially with the goalscoring potential of Mason Fawns and Obua Mugalula who have both netted nine times this season.

The two games between the two last season were closely fought with Witton edging the game at the U Lock It Stadium by the odd goal in three, Mike Koral and Oliver Hitchcox securing the points for the Albion after Oumar Camara had given the Lilywhites the lead.

The game at Seel Park saw the points shared in a 1-1 draw with Matt Lowton on target for Witton.

Another difficult game is in prospect and Witton will need to continue their recent form if they are to pick up the right result.

Kick off at the U Lock It Stadium is 3pm.
