This match stars two sides living in the carpet of the Vanarama National League North, Leamington having 23rd position and Southport sitting at 18th. A decent opportunity for one of the participants to boost their position.

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.

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).
