Newcastle Benfield Vs Penrith Match Preview
Newcastle Benfield return to the MKM Stadium as they face Penrith tomorrow night.
Last time out…
Benfield extended their unbeaten run to five games as they beat Tow Law Town 5-1 away from home with a hattrick from Glen Hargrave and a brace from Kyle Fryatt. That result saw Benfield move up to 12th place on 34 points.
Previous meeting…
The two sides have already met this season. Penrith came out 5-2 winners at Frenchfield Park, Fryatt and Brad Varga got on the scoresheet for Benfield. Andy Ferguson and his side will be looking to overturn that result and collect the three points in tomorrow’s game.
Where the sides sit…
The Lions are sat 12th in the league after collecting 13 points from a possible 15 and are gaining momentum at the moment. The Bonny Blues are placed just one below in 13th on 33 points and will be looking to move above Benfield after beating Markse United 2-0 at home last time out.
Leo’s Pre-match predictions…
“With both sides being so close to one another in the table, it will be a tightly fought contest that could go either way. Penrith will want to continue their form after a strong win at home on Saturday and will have confidence due to the previous meeting between the sides.
“However, Benfield haven’t lost at home since late September and under Ferguson they have looked much improved. I think the score will be 2-0 to Newcastle Benfield in a cagey affair.”
