Struggling Scarborough Athletic will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Lancaster City in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Fa Trophy. That game was also an away game, at Stourbridge. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
