The Hills Solicitors Colleges Premiership is set for a compelling clash this Saturday, November 22nd, as Knightswood AFC lock horns with league leaders Nethercraigs AFC at Glasgow Green.All signs point towards a tough outing for the home side.

Head-to-Head and Recent Form Favours Nethercraigs

If history is anything to go by, Knightswood faces an uphill battle. The head-to-head record heavily favours Nethercraigs, who have secured the only win between the two sides to this season date, leaving Knightswood still searching for their maiden victory in this fixture.

The scars of their last encounter are still fresh; back on August 9th, Nethercraigs ran out comfortable 3-1 winners.

Nethercraigs come into this match in blistering form. Their recent results read like a dream, with impressive victories over Clydebank SMFC, Clydeside Athletic, and Rossvale Huntershill bolstering their confidence and their league position.

Knightswood AFC have shown flashes of potential, notably their convincing win against CATHCART AFC, but they also recently tasted defeat against Rutherglen Glencairn, suggesting a level of inconsistency they’ll need to shake off for this crucial match.
