Worcestershire side Redditch make the trip to Hilton Park to face an RMI side that will be looking to build upon a mini revival that saw them claim six Conference North points from an available nine over the festive period. Both sides are locked on the same amount of points just above the relegation zone, adding even more meaning to an encounter that will already have plenty at stake with RMI looking to build upon the 3-1 and 2-1 victories over Harrogate and Hucknall respectively, with those six points helping RMI climb the table away from the drop zone. However, it certainly isn't a foregone conclusion as the visitors will be looking to avenge their 2-1 defeat to RMI at a rain-sodden Valley Road on the opening day of the season.

Although his side crashed to a 3-0 defeat at Harrogate on Monday, RMI boss Andy Nelson is still confident that his troops can learn from their mistakes on that day and continue their revival, while Redditch arrive largely in turmoil following the departure of several key players and the subsequent arrival of a few new ones, although RMI know themselves just how big a boost a side can get from a few fresh faces.

Kick off at Hilton Park is at 3pm on Saturday afternoon with the usual admission prices applying.
