Match Preview: Witton Albion (H)

Bootle host Witton Albion in a fixture which is vital for both teams to gain three points in order to climb the league table and get more points on the board.


By Brendan Doyle


The Bucks have only three wins at home this season so far which is far from ideal, Mick McGraa will surely be expecting a fourth win today as the opposition sit at the lower end of the table but at the same time, aware of the potential danger they could bring.


Witton Albion currently find themselves in an uneasy situation around the bottom end of the table, a point in five games across November was nothing short of a month of misery for Albion but are hoping to start off December in a completely different manner.
