Leo’s Pre-match predictions…
“Tomorrow is a massive game for both sides. Boro Rangers will be looking to continue on their path for promotion. To do that they will have to beat Newcastle Benfield, however that is a task that many sides have struggled to succeed in since Ferguson’s appointment.
“Since Ferguson took over, Benfield have only lost once and sit joint first in the form table, it will be a high-level match with both teams going for the win.
“I can see the sides cancelling each other out resulting in a 1-1 draw.”
