Recent respective form guides
Altrincham's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Robins have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
Northwich Vic.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Trickies / Vics have hit 8 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Altrincham's 35 points from 25 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position. Northwich Vic. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 15 points.
