The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Boston United are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 19th.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only two days ago in the Vanarama National League North. That game was an away game at King's Lynn Town, so at least Boston United are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Kettering Town manager P. Cox as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Brackley Town.
