vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Buxton come into this off a 3-1 win over Chester in their last game, after a heavy 5-0 win over Brackley Town; before that a 0-4 away defeat at Morecambe, a 2-1 win over Merthyr Town and a 3-2 away win at Oxford City. Ashton United have lost three of their last five: 0-1 to Cleethorpes Town in their last game, after a 5-2 away win at Whitby Town; further back a 0-2 defeat at Curzon Ashton, another 1-2 defeat to Gainsborough Trinity and a 1-1 draw with Ilkeston Town. Buxton have always won at home in their previous meetings, 1-0 last July and before that 4-1 and 3-0, while the only home meeting for Ashton United, in September 2021, ended 1-1. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
