Atherton Collieries welcome Vauxhall Motors on Tuesday, Sep 29 at 8:45 PM in a Northern Premier League – West Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Atherton Collieries come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 1L). Vauxhall Motors travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Atherton Collieries won their last outing, while Vauxhall Motors suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Atherton Collieries win or a draw looks most likely.
