Newmarket Town welcome Canvey Island on Saturday, Dec 12 at 4:00 PM in a Isthmian League – North Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Newmarket Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 2L). Canvey Island travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Newmarket Town won their last outing, while Canvey Island 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 Newmarket Town win or a draw looks most likely.
