It’s a clash of titans at The Skuna Stadium this Saturday as Atherton Collieries host Shifnal Town FC in the Non League Div One - Northern West. Kick-off is set for 3:00 PM GMT, a match that promises to be an intense and closely contested affair.

Recent form has been mixed for both sides. Atherton Collieries will be looking to turn their fortunes around on home turf, but Shifnal Town FC are no pushovers. Their last meeting in October ended in a stalemate,1-1 draw.

As we look to the weekend’s fixture, there are no clear favourites. The win probabilities suggest a tightly contested game - Home: 33%, Draw: 33%, Away: 33%. Atherton will aim to capitalise on the familiarity of their home stadium and fans. Shifnal Town FC have the capacity to make an upset.

The previous draw between these two teams showcased a game with no clear victor. It is possible that this Saturday’s fixture will follow the same trend. Both teams need a win to climb up the Non League Div One - Northern West table.

Atherton Collieries have been preparing diligently for this fixture. Their home record has been a mixed bag but fans will be hoping they can take all three points against Shifnal Town FC. On the other hand, it is imperative for the visiting team to break the Atherton Collieries defence if they are to take any points from this fixture.

As things stand, the prediction is too close to call. But one thing is certain - an intriguing encounter awaits us at The Skuna Stadium this weekend. Will Atherton Collieries or Shifnal Town FC take the spoils? Only time will tell.
