After the first round it's Bedford Town - Barton Rovers 3-3 in points. Who will triumph in this second Non League Div One: Southern Central match of the season?
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bedford Town and Barton Rovers.
Bedford Town form and stats
The season before, Bedford Town's league stats were 8 wins, 6 draws and 28 losses, ending with 22nd position in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. Over these 42 matches they scored {49 goals} and conceded 93. Playing at home in the previous season Bedford Town delivered 5-1-15 (win-draw-lost) with {29 goals} and 51 conceded. The hosts won their first Non League Div One: Southern Central game here at The New Eyrie, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Bedford Town last season were 5 wins, 1 draw and 15 losses from 21 games.
Bedford Town's last game was hosting Kidlington (placed 19th) and winning 5-1. As mentioned above, Bedford "killed" Kidlington in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Preceding that match was the home Non League Premier: Southern Central game against Basford United that was lost 0-2.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bedford Town as they are travelling to their away game against Mulbarton Wanderers in the FA Cup. That match is four days after this one.
At The New Eyrie, Bedford Town has the goal stats of 5-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Barton Rovers form and stats
Let's have a look at how Barton Rovers performed last season in the Non League Div One: Southern Central: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 8 draws and 23 defeats. In total they scored 32 and conceded {78 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 5 and lost 11 with 18/45 goals scored/conceded. Only one away game in the Non League Div One: Southern Central so far for Barton Rovers and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 victories, 5 draws and 11 losses from 18 travels.
Barton Rovers play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-3 victory visiting North Leigh (placed 13th). As you can tell from the result, the match against North Leigh was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Earlier, the FA Cup victory away at London Lions.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Barton manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against East Thurrock United.
It's early days yet, but Barton Rovers has scored 4 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
