For the penultimate time this season Alfreton Town are in away National League North action on Saturday when they travel to playoff hopefuls Curzon Ashton on Matchday 44

Albeit not how they would of liked, but heading into the next two fixtures, Alfreton will have an effect on the playoff chase as they face Curzon Ashton and Buxton either side of Easter Sunday, with the sides occupying the two spaces just outside the top 7.

A win could lift them as high as fifth but Curzon come into the match having lost their last two matches and with only two wins in their last six. Alfreton themselves come into the fixture with two wins in the last six but without a loss in four and off the back of an impressive Derbyshire Senior Cup victory midweek.

Across all competitions the sides have met nineteen times, with Alfreton having the slight advantage in the head-to-head having won eight, Curzon winning seven and on four occasions the teams being unable to be separated. It was Curzon who won the won the reverse fixture when back in January as a Stefan Mol's penalty in added time of the first half secured all three points in Derbyshire.

Admission for the fixture is:

Adult - £17
Concession (Over 65yrs) - £12
Under 16yrs - £2
