Nuneaton Town host Corby Town at The Oval on Tuesday 3 November at 19:45 GMT in a fixture that pitches the division’s chasing side against a club battling to climb clear of the drop. Nuneaton arrive in the top four and will be looking to extend a run that has produced seven goals from their last five league games.
Corby are 20th in the table and have conceded ten times across their last five league matches; their recent run has yielded five points from five games. Expect an open game where Nuneaton’s scoring form and Corby’s recent defensive record are the two clear patterns to watch.
