Kettering v Southport preview.

Southport finally hit the road again after a month of home matches and it’s a long trip south to face Kettering.

It’s been a productive month in the league for Southport, the big disappointment coming with a poor show in the FA Trophy tie at home to Curzon Ashton but some great home results against top sides have given everyone a lift.

Southport are sitting in 7th place after the Tuesday games saw wins for Chester and Fylde.

Our hosts on Saturday are currently 20th but do boast a very good home record losing just twice and unbeaten since 24 September. It’s on the road they appear to struggle picking up just 2 points on their travels. Last time out at home in the league they recorded a 2-0 win against Hereford and advanced in the FA Trophy with a 1-0 win against Gloucester last Saturday but have since been disqualified from the competition for fielding an ineligible player.
