Buxton desperately need points on Saturday, Dec 5 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.

Spalding United come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Buxton travel in mixed form (2W 0D 3L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Spalding United clear favorites, but Buxton have shown they can grind out results. Expect Spalding United to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
