  • Southport is in the worst form (0-0-6)

For Leamington relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Southport is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy game only three days ago.

Leamington form and stats

8-6-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League North numbers at home for Leamington so far this season. When Leamington hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like AFC Telford United, Farsley Celtic, Banbury United, Blyth Spartans, Kettering Town, Leamington and Bradford Park Avenue), they have won 4 of 6 matches! With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Leamington to get some points in this home game.

The supporters are hoping that Leamington will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the match against Fylde (placed 1st). As you see from the result above, Leamington suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Ahead of that match, Leamington lost 1-2 at home to Chorley.
