Bourne Town take on Melton Town in the United Counties League
Bourne boss Michael Goode has billed Saturday's crunch clash as a 'massive' game for his side as they host promotion rivals Melton Town.
Just two points separates the third-placed Wakes from their Leicestershire visitors in the United Counties League Premier Division North standings.
Bourne are seven points adrift of league leaders Eastwood but have three games in hand on the table-toppers as they look to continue their fantastic first season back at step five of the non-league pyramid.
Goode said: "It's a massive game for both sides on Saturday but Melton have been trying to win the league for three seasons so arguably it's a bigger one for them.
"We're still finding our feet in the league and we're doing alright but it's another game where we have to raise the tempo and our quality to show what we've got.
"They will be under as much pressure as we are and these are the sort of games that it's all about because we're in a good position at the moment.
"It's the last Saturday home game before Christmas so hopefully we'll get a big crowd through the gates to cheer the boys on.
"If we play anything like we did against Eastwood then we'll give ourselves a chance against a good side who will be well prepared and will play good front foot football."
Bourne head into the match on the back of a seven-game winning streak which was maintained on Tuesday night after victory in the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy.
They ran out 5-0 winners over Pinchbeck United and now face neighbours Blackstones in the semi-final as they target a triple trophy haul.
Bourne are still in the FA Vase and are also through to the quarter-finals of the United Counties League KO Cup.
Goals from Will Bird (two), James Hill-Seekings (two) and Zac Allen secured the midweek win after Saturday's league trip to Belper United was postponed.
Goode added: "I thought we were a little bit rusty to start but, when you've played at the intensity we did at Eastwood in the last match, it's quite tough after 10 days off.
"We played some pretty good stuff in patches but the final ball or decision wasn't always great.
"We just made the occasional wrong decision by trying to over-complicate things and probably weren't as clinical as we wanted to be.
"It was a good run-out for us though and it was great to see Seeks get a couple of goals after being out injured.
"The people who we wanted to score goals have done and we've got decent minutes into players who needed them.
"We never thought that it would be an easy game at all but it's great to reach a semi-final and to have a derby at home against your neighbours is utopia.
"Blackstones will be very tough opposition but it's a cup that we can target after what was a pleasing and a good night with lots of good stuff."
Deeping Rangers have a vital home game against Hucknall on Saturday having progressed in the Hinchingbrooke Cup on Tuesday night with a 3-1 win at Godmanchester Rovers.
Stamford host Royston Town in the Southern League Premier Division Central on Saturday after last weekend's game at Lowestoft was postponed.
Blackstones - whose home game at the newly-sponsored Seven Bespoke Joinery Stadium against Rainworth Miners Welfare last weekend also fell victim to the weather - visit Clifton All Whites in Division One of the United Counties League.
