Southport desperately need points on Monday, Mar 29 at 4:00 PM in the National League – North. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Southport come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Marine, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Southport and Marine have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (2W–1D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Southport won 2–1.
