📈CURRENT FORM//
Newcastle Benfield
6th | WWWLDW - They followed up Saturday’s disappointing 1-1 vs Seaham with a 2-1 home victory over West Auckland Town in midweek. Goals coming from Jack Watson and Joe Thompson against West.

At home they have won 9/17 in the league with four draws and four defeats.

Won 4-2 in the reverse fixture, goals from Jacob Zych(2), Karl Fryett and Ryan Smith earned the points back in October.

Marske United
13th | DLLWLW - Earned a second league win in seven games as they beat Newcastle Blue Star 3-2 in midweek. Euan McBride, Josh Duffield and Kyran Clark with the goals, although Duffield later blotted his copybook with a 62nd minute red card.

On the road they have won 7/17 in league action with two draws and 8 losses to date.

In the reverse fixture, goals from McCorie Carmichael and Euan McBride couldn’t prevent a 4-2 loss at Mount Pleasant earlier this season.

A draw this afternoon would see the Seasiders have identical home and away league records. Well we found it interesting!

⏪LAST TIME//
No corresponding NL1 fixture last season between the sides.

🔮OUR PREDICTION//
Benfield are full of confidence, and rightly so with the current run of form, they will be looking to leapfrog Blue Star after their playoff rivals drew last night.

Marske’s last game was an eventful affair but was a perfect example of their season, when their goal scorers score they are a right handful but they do have a self-destruct button too. Their games are usually highly entertaining though.

United are pretty much all or nothing in the league with someone usually winning, not many games end up in a draw.

That said… Desmond!

2-2.
