Hednesford desperately need points on Monday, Dec 28 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.

Hednesford come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Chorley, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Hednesford and Chorley have split their 8 meetings almost evenly (4W–1D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Chorley won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

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