Chorley welcome Spalding United at Victory Park, Chorley, Lancashire on Saturday, Sep 26 at 4:00 PM in a National League – North fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Chorley come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 2L). Spalding United travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Chorley won their last outing, while Spalding United 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 Chorley win or a draw looks most likely.
