Leamington are sitting in sixth place in the table and have a strong home record with 5 wins and 1 defeat from their 6 matches.

Three games have ended 1-0 away from home, two in the favour of the home side and one win for The Sandgrounders. The 1-0 defeat on 22 February 2020 was to be the final away game before Lockdown which saw the season curtailed. Anyone travelling to that game will recall the controversial last minute incident which saw Southport denied a clear cut penalty which even the Leamington fans and manager acknowledged should have been awarded.

The bookies have Leamington as 10/11 favourites to win with Southport at 12/5 and the draw is 13/5.
