A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and 17th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Southport and Leamington should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Leamington form and stats
There's been little loot from Leamington's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Leamington only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Vanarama National League North home defeat versus Alfreton Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. The game before that, in the FA Cup, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Darlington.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

Leamington have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league. The Leamington manager P. Holleran has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
