Bitesize Prediction: Alfreton Town vs Southport – 16/12/25

Competition: National League North

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ Pribet

In what could prove to be an enjoyable National League North showdown on Tuesday night, Alfreton will welcome Southport to Derbyshire.

Starting with the hosts, although some in Alfreton’s camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine top-half charge, the Reds have endured a real struggle this time around. Scrapping it out at the foot of the National League North standings, Jake Buxton’s men have a real battle on their hands in the race to maintain their sixth-tier status. Last seen over the weekend suffering FA Trophy heartbreak away at Alvechurch, the Derbyshire-based outfit have failed to win any of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Getting December underway with a 2-1 loss against Cursor Ashton, Alfreton have also shown some extended defensive issues. With their recent rut underlined by a frantic 6-2 drumming against Merthyr Town on November 22nd, Tuesday’s hosts have registered just two clean sheets from any of their previous 13 showdowns across all fronts – a run that stems all the way back to September 20th.

As for the visitors, losing six of their first seven National League North appearances when opening up the new campaign back in August, Southport appeared destined for yet another relegation scrap. However, securing a 3-1 FA Trophy victory at home against Leek over the weekend, Neil Danns’ men have certainly turned a real corner over the past couple of months. Dragging themselves out of the drop zone and now looking to widen their buffer over the chasing pack, Southport find the mood in their camp at a season-high. In fact, the former Macclesfield boss has not seen his resurgent squad suffer a single defeat from any of their previous nine appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to a 3-2 loss against Peterborough Sports on October 28th. It should also be highlighted, including a 3-2 win against Buxton on November 15th, Danns’ side have recorded at least a pair of strikes in all of their last eight consecutive outings.
