Hinckley AFC enter the final 10 games of the Division One season with a visit to one of the league’s in-form sides in Coton Green.
AFC have 30 points left to play for this campaign and head into the final two months of the season looking to cement their place at the top.
To do that, they will need to overcome a Coton side who are one of the division’s form teams, with one of its form strikers.
The opposition
Having been in the relegation zone at the turn of the year, Coton have now lost just one of their last 11 games in Division One to lift themselves clear of the danger zone.
They now sit 16th, with 30 points from their 29 games – and have both scored the most and conceded the fewest goals of any side in the bottom six.
They have re-appointed Nic Oakley as manager, and re-signed Matt Gardner who scored all four goals as they came from behind to beat Nuneaton Griff last week. The former Hinckley forward has 13 goals in 15 games for them this season.
Their only defeat since before Christmas was a 2-0 reverse at Wednesfield, while they took points off OJM Black Country in February in a 1-1 draw.
Previous meetings
Coton won the first ever meeting between the sides last December – Gardner scoring in a 2-1 win for them at Kirkby Road – but Hinckley have won each of the last two. They won 5-0 at New Mill Lane last April, and then overcame a young Coton side 8-0 earlier this campaign.
Key information
Coton play at New Mill Lane, Fazeley, Tamworth, B78 3RX.
