Workington and Mickleover Sports spectators can't wait for Non League Premier: Northern clash at Borough Park

Competition: England Non League Premier: Northern
Date: Tue 02.April
Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: Borough Park (3101 seats)

It's an important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 21st and the visitors in 20th place.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Workington and Mickleover Sports. Mickleover Sports have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Workington form and stats

With 4 wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Workington are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Borough Park) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Workington it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

The Workington fans got no joy from their last match, a Non League Premier: Northern game also here at Borough Park: A 2-4 defeat against Nantwich Town. Before that match, a win away at Whitby Town.
