Another away challenge lies in wait for Albion as they make their way to Rams for the 10th round fixture.

Rams currently sit in 6th place in the leagues just two places and two points behind Albion. Like Albion, Rams had a good start to the season winning 6 out of the first 7 matches. However, they have lost the last two to Blackheath and more recently Bishop's Stortford. Albion meanwhile have seen their away form desert them with three losses on the trot and with Rotherham coming up will want to take something from the November matches.

With three-quarters of their tries coming from their back line, Rams appear to prefer an expansive game. Defensively, they show signs of being able to adapt to the opposition. Consequently, Albion should be able to make inroads by utilising the pack, but will need to present a sturdy defence and if the ball is to be distributed to the backs, play a less structured game.

This Saturday's referee will be Ben Rayner - Over six games in this league he is averaging a card a game, although he presented half of this tally to Clifton last weekend. Albion will need to be careful after collecting three cards themselves last weekend.

Player to watch - Morgan Macrae - with 10 tries this season the Centre is a potent threat for Rams, notably switched from hooker from this season.

Weather: Cloudy with sunny intervals. A light breeze will blow across the pitch from the stand. Slightly cool with temp at 14°C.

Prediction: A win for Rams given Albion's poor away form, but could be close.

Other games of note:

Rotherham (2nd) v Blackheath (3rd). A chance for Albion to recover 3rd place Club lose and Albion overturn Rams. Should the Titans lose, then next weekend's fixture at Albion will have added significance.

Sale (5th) v Tonbridge Juddians(7th) - Having nilled Sedgley Park last weekend, Tonbridge's performance this week will be indicative of how much they are relying on DR/Loan players to bolster home performances.
