Boston United host AFC Fylde at the Jakemans Community Stadium this weekend, looking to translate recent away form into a much-needed home result. The Pilgrims sit 15th in the National League with 11 points from nine games, a position they will be keen to improve upon in front of their own supporters.
Their last outing was a positive one, a 3-1 victory away at Forest Green Rovers. Terry Cursons scored twice, including a penalty, with Luke Wheeldon adding a late third. That result provides a platform, but home form has been a struggle with just one win and three points from four games at the Jakemans this season.
International absences
Manager Paul Hurst will be without Nicholas Pozo, Kai Mauro, and Ollie Bostock, who are all away on international duty. Pozo's absence in particular guarantees at least one change to the starting lineup from the side that won at Forest Green. The full squad list is available on our squad page.
They face a tough test against an AFC Fylde side that has collected 17 points from a possible 27 and has four away wins already. The last meeting between the sides, just days ago, ended in a 1-0 win for Fylde, with Danny Mayor scoring the only goal.
