Kidsgrove Athletic desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 26 at 4:00 PM in the Northern Premier League – West Division. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Kidsgrove Athletic come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Runcorn Linnets, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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