The Sheffield fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at The Coach and Horses Ground: A 0-1 defeat against Grimsby Borough (placed 8th).
1-1 away at Bridlington Town before that.This is expected to be a close game, with Sheffield perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
