Match Preview: Luctonians vs Taunton Titans

The Taunton Titans are back on the road this Saturday as they travel to face Luctonians in National League 2 West, in what promises to be another tightly contested encounter.

Both sides come into the game on the back of narrow victories last weekend. The Titans produced a disciplined and determined performance at Summerfield Stadium, edging past Cinderford 16–14 in a hard-fought contest. Meanwhile, Luctonians also showed their resilience on the road, claiming a 14–12 away win over Hornets, underlining their ability to grind out results when margins are tight.

Luctonians currently sit 2nd in the league on 71 points and have enjoyed an impressive campaign to date. Strong at set-piece and well organised defensively, they have been consistent throughout the season and will provide a stern test on home soil.

The Titans travel sitting 4th in the table with 51 points, and while the gap in points reflects Luctonians’ consistency over the season, Taunton will take confidence from their recent form and performances. Momentum has been building in recent weeks, and the squad will be looking to carry that belief into another challenging away fixture.

For Taunton, accuracy and discipline will again be key. Luctonians are a side that capitalise on mistakes, so controlling possession and territory will be vital. If the Titans can establish a solid platform up front, they will back themselves to create opportunities and stay in the fight throughout.

With both teams showing their ability to win close games, this fixture has all the ingredients for another tense and competitive battle in National League 2 West.

Safe travels to all those making the journey.
