Southport FC vs Spennymoor Town FC
SOUTHPORT, England (Interstat) — A pivotal National League North clash is set for Tuesday as Southport FC hosts Spennymoor Town FC at Haig Avenue, with both sides looking to build on weekend clean sheets.
The matchup, scheduled for March 10, 2026, pits a confident Southport side against a Spennymoor team seeking consistency on the road. Southport (8-9-12) enters on a positive note, coming off a 1-0 away victory over Peterborough Sports on Saturday. That result extended their unbeaten run to three matches (1-0-2).
In contrast, Spennymoor Town (6-10-13) is mired in a winless streak, having played to a scoreless draw at home against Bedford Town last time out. Their form has been erratic; a 1-0 home win over Chorley on Feb. 24 is their only victory in their last eight league outings. A concerning trend for the visitors is their vulnerability defensively, having conceded four goals to Darlington and six to South Shields in recent months.
Southport’s recent resilience, conceding just three goals in their last five matches, will be tested by a Spennymoor attack that has been held scoreless in three of its last five games. The historical statistical projection service, Interstat, simulates a narrow 2-1 victory for the home side.
Key to the contest will be Southport’s ability to capitalize on home advantage, where they have earned results in three of their last four. Spennymoor, languishing in the lower half of the table, desperately needs points to distance itself from the relegation fray. Their immediate focus, however, is solely on this trip before a home fixture against Curzon Ashton next Tuesday.
The midfield battle will be critical. Southport’s organization, evidenced in the tight win at Peterborough Sports, will clash with a Spennymoor side that has shown flashes, like in their 2-0 win at Leamington last month, but has struggled for sustained performance.
Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. local time under the lights at Haig Avenue. With playoff hopes faint for Southport and relegation worries lingering for Spennymoor, three points carry significant weight for the trajectory of each club’s season.
