Match Preview

Witton look to extend their unbeaten run to three games in all competitions when they travel to Mossley AFC on Saturday afternoon in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.

Since losing to Nantwich Town at the U Lock It Stadium, Jon Macken’s team have put together a couple of wins including an away success that ended the Dabbers involvement in the Cheshire Senior Cup.

Mossley find themselves in eleventh place in the table going into the game, but victory for the Albion would see them leap above their opponents in what will prove to be another difficult test for them.

The form of striker Connor Hughes in recent weeks has been pivotal to Witton’s improvement, particularly at a time when the striking options are missing the experience of Tom Pope.

Mossley have played seven league games at Seel Park so far, winning four whilst losing the other three.

Witton will be looking to complete the league double over the Lilywhites following a 2-1 success in the return fixture at the U Lock It Stadium in August.

Last season’s meetings saw Mossley come out on top as they took four points off the Albion, a 2-0 win at the U Lock It Stadium followed by a 1-1 draw at Seel Park later in the campaign.

Witton face a tough challenge as they usually do against Mossley but they will be hoping to continue their recent upturn in form.

Kick off at TotalRope Solutions Seel Park is 3pm.
