Leek Town desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in the Northern Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Leek Town come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Stockton Town, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Leek Town head into this on the back of a defeat, while Stockton Town arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Leek Town and Stockton Town have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (1W–2D–2W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

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