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 3rd and 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
