Shifnal Town desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 9 at 4:00 PM in the Northern Premier League – West Division. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Stalybridge come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Shifnal Town travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

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