Mossley AFC welcome Hanley Town on Saturday, Oct 3 at 4:00 PM in a Northern Premier League – West Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Mossley AFC come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Hanley Town, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Mossley AFC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Hanley Town arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Mossley AFC win or a draw looks most likely.
