Home advantage means that Exmouth Town will be gunning for maximum points against Newquay on Saturday, according to joint-player manager Kevin Hill.
Struggling Newquay are four places off bottom in the South West Peninsula League Premier Division standings while Exmouth are fifth, although they have played as many as eight games more than some of the teams around them.
Town drew 0-0 away to third-from-bottom Falmouth Town last time out, but Hill hopes a return to home soil will improve their fortunes.
"We are confident – we have to be when we are playing at home. I always fancy us when we play at our place," he said.
"As far as I know, everyone should be available for the game except Matt Dawson and Adam Fowler."
Looking back on the 0-0 draw on Saturday, Hill had no qualms with the final result, and admitted that Falmouth were good value for their point.
"I think 0-0 was the right result to be fair. They hit the bar late in the day and we went close on a couple of occasions too," he said.
"We were a bit disappointed to draw but we were down to the bare bones with so many away.
"Fair play to Falmouth, they played well and we never really looked like scoring."
Elsewhere, Witheridge player-manager Chris Vinnicombe has warned his players that the heavy pitches at this time of year mean that no side can be taken for granted.
Withy welcome second-from-bottom Elburton Villa to Edge Down Park on Saturday looking for maximum points following a 2-1 defeat at Torpoint Athletic.
"I said to the lads that, at this time of year, the pitches are a great leveller," he said.
"It does not matter if you are top of the table or bottom of the table, the pitches level things out.
"You have to adapt to the conditions whether they are wet or cold or dry or hard."
Vinnicombe should have a full squad to choose from now that Jack Furzer and Jamie Dirrane have served suspensions.
"I should have a fully-fit squad, so that will see everybody pushing for places," he continued.
"I am also happy to have Jack and Jamie back after serving their suspensions."
Vinnicombe admitted that a failure to do 'the horrible bits' of the game cost his side in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Torpoint.
Having not played since before Christmas, Withy were off the pace defensively – as shown by the mix-up which led to Gary Hird's ninth-minute opener.
They drew level almost immediately as Jordan Charran's cross led to an own goal.
But the second half saw Withy slow to clear their lines, allowing Scott Blatchford to score a winner.
"With the chances we had, we probably deserved to win the game," said Vinnicombe.
"On another day, we could well have scored a few, but on the other side of things you still have to defend well.
"We did not play badly considering we have not played for a while, but we did not do the horrible bits you need to do like marking and getting it away.
"When they knock it into the box, you can't just hope that someone else will get a tackle in or make a clearance."
Meanwhile, Cullompton Rangers manager Dan Kenyon wants to break into the top tier of the table when his side host Camelford on Saturday.
Cully, who did not play at the weekend, are looking to close the nine-point gap on seventh-placed Godolphin Atlantic.
"Camelford are quite low down and we have to go into these games thinking that we have to win them," he said.
"If we want to stay in the pack that we are currently in – and keep chasing the pack in front of us – then we absolutely have to win.
"There are three different packs in the league table, and we are in the middle but trying to push into that top pack.
"We have got some games coming up that we would like to win but we have a tough end to the season with two games with Parkway and two against St Austell. We played our easy games at the start of the season."Bovey Tracey go to Godolphin Atlantic having not played last weekend.
