Albion is back on the road heading for Birmingham Moseley as they look to make it 10 wins out of 10. Kick off is at 15:30.

Preview

Mose currently lie in 8th place having won 4 games, all of which were at home. Three of the wins came against teams sitting in the bottom 4, however, the fourth win came as a shock result in round 8 against high flying Tonbridge Juddians. 

Albion have won in the last 7 meetings between the sides, culminating in a close 20-27 score line. That match was notable for being the first match featuring Noah Fenton playing for Albion, in which he scored a try.    

Scoring Analysis

This season, Mose have scored 35 tries (avg 3.9 per game). This is the lowest amongst all the teams in the league. They favour scoring through the forwards, with perhaps the line out being their strongest feature. 

Defensively Mose have conceded 48 tries (avg 5.3). Their pack has shown good resilience allowing only 12 tries (for comparison, Albion's pack have conceded 11) but this has been negated by the backs letting through 75% of conceded tries. The main opportunities for Albion will lie with the centres and as ever the wings. There may also be a couple of openings for the scrum half.  

What to Expect

Albion will seek to pull Mose's backline out of shape in order to exploit any existing weaknesses. This will call for a fast flowing tactics to spread the ball amongst the backs. Mose meanwhile, will want to keep it within the forwards and slow the game down and will feed off any penalties given away be Albion. 

This may be an opportunity to rotate out a couple of players, bearing in mind they play Bury St Edmunds next week before a crunch away fixture at TJs the following week. 

Player to watch

Jayden Wottersly. Dual registered from Gloucester Academy Jayden can play in anywhere in the back row. 

Referee/Cards

The appointed referee for the match is Samuel Yates who has issued 11 cards over 6 games in NL1 this season. The distribution between home and away is fairly even, with the split being 5-6. He officiated the Sale FC v Moseley match early on in the season which saw Mose receiving a yellow card and conceding 14 points in during the bin period. This effectively set them chasing a game which remained well beyond their reach.

To date Mose have 5 cards (2nd best) whilst Albion have 9 (3rd worst but tied with 4 other teams).

Weather at 13:00 12/11/26

Dry with sunny intervals prior to sunset. A light SSE breeze with moderate gusts will blow from the exposed corner of the pitch. It will be cold with a late evening temperature of 6°C falling to 5°C after sunset (feels like 4-2°C).

Prediction:

Comfortable win for Albion. 

Other games of note: 

Bury St Edmunds (11th) v Leeds Tykes (4th} - Next week's opponents for Albion face a tough Tykes side that have built good run of wins. A probable win will keep the Tykes close to the playoff spots.

Dings Crusaders (10th) v London Scottish (7th} - A mid table clash. Dings who tend are much more comfortable at home welcome The Exiles who have recoved from their poor start, although went down to sale FC last week. Likely win for LS.

Rams (12th) v Camborne (3rd} - A difficult game for Rams following defeat at the Brickfields. Camborne continue to impress and should take another win.

Tonbridge Juddians (2nd) v Rosslyn Park (6th} - Park have three difficult games ahead of them, but an improvement in form might give them a little hope. Unfortunately they face TJs, who apart one glitch are having a great season. TJs to win, but another 'glitch' would make things easier for Albion. 

Also wins expected for
Bishops Stortford against Sheffield
Sale FC against Cambridge
