Loughborough University welcome Basford United at Loughborough University Stadium, Loughborough, Leicestershire on Tuesday, Sep 29 at 8:45 PM in a Northern Premier League – Midlands Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Loughborough University come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Basford United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Loughborough University won their last outing, while Basford 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 Loughborough University win or a draw looks most likely.
