Both teams head into this fixture eager for a win which would take them to the top of the table. The importance of this game for both teams can not be underestimated. Fylde currently sit top of the league with a 3 point lead over the Linnets, although the home side have a game in hand. If Fylde win this one, King’s Lynn can only match their points with their game in hand – rather than overtake them.

The form of these teams recently have been impeccable, King’s Lynn are four games unbeaten whereas the away side have won 5 games in a row. Nick Haughton has been leading Fylde’s frontline, with 14 goals this season and will be looking to get a crucial goal here. The same can not be necessarily said for the home side, with their goals coming sporadically across the squad rather than having a specific goalscorer. Gold Omotayo has 8 goals so far, although it’s the variety of threats that throw intimidation into opposition sides.

I believe both teams should be scoring in this fixture. On neutral ground, Fylde would be favourites although the home advantage will certainly play into the Linnets favour – especially when you consider the distance Fylde will have to cover. Both teams have scored equal goals and conceded an equal amount this season and the importance of a win here is huge to both sides. Once a goal hits the back of the net, the game should open up and the opposition should throw everything at it.
