Match Preview: Nantwich Town v Mossley AFC

The Dabbers are at home for the first time in almost exactly a month on Saturday as we welcome Mossley to the Swansway Stadium (3pm kick off).

There Moss-ley an Angel

With every game that’s passed since, the Dabbers’ goalless draw away at Mossley last month has looked like a better and better result. Mossley have not lost in the 6 games after it, meaning it’s now 8 unbeaten for them since losing to Leek at the end of January.

This run has included wins over Hednesford, Hanley and Kidsgrove, as well as draws away at Bootle and home to Clitheroe. But they have only kept 2 clean sheets in that time, one against the Dabbers and the other against 1874 Northwich. However, the Dabbers have been the only team to stop them scoring during this spell.

They now sit with exactly the same points as the Dabbers, 44 after 31 games, and 5 off the play-offs. But they sit 2 places lower due to a worse goal difference than the Dabbers and Stalybridge, also on 44 points.

Last Time We Met

It was far from a classic in February, a 0-0 draw with few real chances to speak of. But both teams have gone on to bigger and better things since so it feels unlikely there’ll be a repeat on Saturday. Highlights below.

Players to Watch

Jack Banister is the form man, up to 8 goals for the season including scoring in their last 2 games and recently surpassing 100 appearances for the Lillywhites. Alfie Belcher has also been amongst the goals recently, both in forward positions should keep the Nantwich defence occupied.
