NORTHWICH VICTORIA v WOKING

7.45pm on Tuesday 7 April 2009

The win at Barrow on Saturday has given the Cards a crucial lifeline as they take on the Vics this evening. Another win tonight would, at a minimum, lift the Cards above Weymouth, with fellow strugglers York City also in action. But, although the Vics are all but relegated, they shouldn?t be taken for granted, having put in some decent performances recently, including remaining undefeated in their last two home games.

WOKING

The Cards will be without Colin Miles, suspended after being sent off on Saturday. Dan Sintim can be expected to take his place. It remains to be seen if any of Woking?s walking wounded have sufficiently recovered to be in contention.

NORTHWICH VICTORIA

The Vics lie one off the bottom with only 25 points from 40 games. They are effectively relegated: defeat tonight would seal their fate. Their home record reads Won 3 Drawn 5 Lost 11, with 20 goals scored and 26 conceded.

Their recent results have been:

Ebbsfleet United 1 Northwich Victoria 0

Northwich Victoria 1 Salisbury City 1

Northwich Victoria 4 Rushden and Diamonds 2

Northwich Victoria 2 Torquay United 3

Northwich Victoria 1 Wrexham 2

Cambridge United 4 Northwich Victoria 1

Caretaker manager Andy Preece is ringing the changes: Darryn Stamp has left for Gateshead and Paul Barratt too has departed. New arrivals include Luke Joyce, a midfielder from Carlisle; and Jeff Whitley, former Manchester City and NI international midfielder, who, however, is injured.

PREVIOUS ENCOUNTERS

In the home game on 31 January the Cards had a surprisingly comfortable 4-1 win over the Vics, with Wilfried Domoraud netting a hat-trick and Goma Lambu also scoring.
