Recording a first League One victory since opening the New Year on Saturday, the Terriers are still sat in the play-off places and they will be looking to widen their buffer over the chasing pack here. Extending on their EFL Trophy adventure earlier in the month as they secured a routine 3-0 win against Rotherham, new boss Liam Manning will be looking to make a real statement here.

Starting with the hosts, while Mirandes might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign once again installed as a standout play-off contender, Los Rojillos have shown a string of issues and find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Suffering late heartbreak away at Cultural Leonesa last weekend as they eventually fell to a 3-2 defeat, the Burgos-based outfit have rightfully come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny.

Despite being last seen falling to a close-fought 1-0 loss away at Solihull Moors, Gavin Cowman's men should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Opening Wednesday's return to Northamptonshire sat within touching distance of shockingly firing their way into the play-off places, the former Telford boss will be smelling the chance to claim an immediate response here.
