Match Preview

It’s 3rd vs 4th in the Evo-Stik East on Saturday as the Brewers look to close the gap on second placed Lincoln United ahead of their meeting next week.

Simon Collins’ side come into the tasty looking clash on the back of three straight victories propelling them firmly into the play-off picture. An 89th minute Chris Howarth winner at Spalding last Saturday earned Albion a big three points with all teams around them also picking up maximum points.

Brighouse pose a similarly impressive record currently on a five-game unbeaten league run thumping second-placed Lincoln 4-1 last time out.
Saturday's contest is set to be a pulsating one with both on 29 points after 16 games played. Taddy have won three at home whereas Town have won three away from home, so something has to give.

Harry Coates and November Player of the Month Paddy Miller will have their hands full trying to contain towering front man Aaron Martin as he’s found the net eight times this season. However, Brighouse will do well to keep Joe Lumsden quiet, the striker has gone one better than Martin in the league scoring on nine occasions.

When the two sides met at the i2i Stadium back on New Year’s Day, Taddy ran home comfortable winners, 5-0 in fact with Aiden Savory, Tom Corner, Josh Greening and Joe Pugh all amongst the scorers on that day.

Team News: James Hodges to deputise in goal again for Michael Ingham (dislocated thumb). Aiden Savory (arm) unlikely to feature. Josh Barrett expected to keep his place at right-back.
