Two away games in a row for Altrincham, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus Notts County.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Barnet.

Altrincham are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.
