Brigg Town face a tough away day.

Brigg visit Cleethorpes Town's second string on Saturday. Cleethorpes will be challenging like they were in the reverse fixture. Although Cleethorpes didn't score, they were by far the better side in the first half. Brigg won 2-0 after a better second half - exactly what happened against Ruston Sports days ago. Brigg's first half performance should be better on this occasion. If Cleethorpes dominate the first half again they'll probably be winning at half time.

Cleethorpes have had some excellent results. Their biggest wins were against Horncastle Town (4-0), Gainsborough Trinity Reserves (6-0) and Ruston Sports (4-1). Connor Southern and Jack Boswell have scored a lot of goals this season. They didn't play in the reverse fixture, but both of them could feature this time. It will be tricky not to concede against an attacking side with players like Southern and Boswell. Brigg hope to keep their fifth clean sheet in a row - that won't be easy though.

Thankfully, Brigg's whole squad are available for this one. Everyone who started in the win over Ruston Sports played well. Therefore, it would be difficult to drop any of them. Then again, all five substitutes made an impact and Tom Pearson is back. All of Brigg's players are fit to start - unfortunately not every one of them can. Choosing the starting eleven will be a hard decision.

Brigg's current form is WWWWWWWWDW - that's very good indeed! It was a shame to add a D to that long list of Ws recently. However, Brigg returned to winning ways immediately afterwards. Brigg had won fifteen out of sixteen (WWWWWWWLWWWWWWWW) before drawing 0-0 at Immingham Town. Seven wins and eight wins to either side of Brigg's only loss was fantastic! Hopefully, beating the reigning champions was the start of another winning streak.

Will the Zebras win again?
