Tarmac Silverlands Stadium
The Opposition
Buxton arrive into Saturday’s game against Moors in good form, having won three of their last four in National League North to move up to sixth in the table ahead of the weekend.
The Bucks endured a fairly slow start to the new campaign, picking up just two points from their first four outings – but they seem to have clicked into gear in recent weeks.
Like Moors, they will be approaching the weekend keen to bounce back from FA Cup disappointment with Buxton begin knocked out at the hands of Macclesfield on Saturday.
Previous Meeting
A double from Sam Osborne was enough to consign Moors to a 2-1 defeat during their last visit to Buxton back in April a The Bucks completed a league double after their 1-0 victory at The Brewery Field last October.
