Season ticket holders at Select Security Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Widnes languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Mossley will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's quite the trip for Mossley when visiting Widnes as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
