It’s a chilly winter Saturday at Bootle, as they gear up to take on Newcastle Town in a Non League Div One - Northern West showdown. The home side has been in scorching form, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten run against a Newcastle Town side that has struggled to find the net in recent weeks.

The two teams have a long history of clashes. Bootle has had the better of their exchanges, with three wins and two draws in their last five meetings. Their most recent meeting saw Bootle claim a comfortable 2-0 win, which will give them a psychological boost going into this tie.

Newcastle Town has not been able to break down the Bootle backline in their last two meetings. This will be a worry for them as they try to stop the free-scoring Bootle attack. With Bootle tipped to win and a low number of goals predicted, the onus will be on Newcastle Town to get anything from this game.

The crowd at Bootle will be eager to see their team make it six unbeaten games in a row and with the home side having a 50% win probability this looks likely. Bootle will be looking to use their home advantage to boss the game and get the three points that will keep them top of the table. Will Newcastle Town be able to stop them? Only time will tell but for now Bootle are the team to beat.
