As the season end is in sight, the tension for Real Bedford surrounding each remaining game rises. With only 7 games remaining in the season meaning a maximum of 21 more points, the otherwise comfortable lead over Rugby Borough (12 Points) is not yet enough to guarantee promotion.
Lutterworth Athletic have had several fixtures postponed and have a total of 11 more fixtures to complete by the end of the season. Lutterworth have a punishing schedule ahead of them with 3 games each week until the end of the season. The management team of Ross Blockley, Mitch Bevins & Nick Patrick-Ingram will be looking to manage fatigue and injury over the coming weeks, but will this make Lutterworth play more conservatively as a result?
Real Bedford travel to Leicester on the back of a winning streak of 6 matches and no loss for 8. Their performance in the last 5 of those matches has been increasingly clinical. Rob Sinclair and Mark Ducket will be looking to continue this trend at Leicester, maintaining the gap between them and their nearest rivals Rugby Borough.
Will Real Bedford manage to extend their winning streak to 7 matches and maintain their perfect away match record this season or will Lutterworth decide to try and take out the head of table to gain a psychological advantage in the coming weeks?
