Marine desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 31 at 4:00 PM in the National League – North. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Buxton come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Marine travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Buxton head into this on the back of a defeat, while Marine arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 10 previous meetings, Buxton lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Buxton won 4–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Buxton a slight edge, but Marine are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
