This impressive run has seen them remain undefeated in their last four outings and they successfully registered a goal in their most recent match.

A draw would see a point apiece, a result that might prove more beneficial to the home side given their current league standing, while a defeat would extend their recent winless run and could see them drift further down the standings.
