Non League Premier: Northern: The average league table positions highlight the path Marine and Stafford Rangers have undertaken uptil now. Both teams are up for it; let's get this boat on the water!

Insights:
  • Marine have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Stafford Rangers have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won away.

Stafford Rangers could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Non League Premier: Northern game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Hyde United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Stafford Rangers.

Marine form and stats

The story so far in the Non League Premier: Northern for Marine at their home stadium (The Marine Travel Arena) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. Marine has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Young and the players.

The Marine crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Bamber Bridge here at The Marine Travel Arena. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Bamber Bridge) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at South Shields.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Marine have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Ashton United are coming to town in four days.

The Marine fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches.

Stafford Rangers form and stats

Stafford Rangers have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Non League Premier: Northern, after 3-3-6 (12 played). With the Stafford Rangers losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Stafford Rangers aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 216 league minutes without a goal. Anderson was the last player to find the net.

There might be some fixture complaints from Stafford Rangers as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-1 against Hyde United.

A loss against Matlock Town was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Stafford have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 2 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
