It's early days in the Non League Premier: Northern and both Mickleover Sports and Witton Albion are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
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 Mickleover Sports and Witton Albion.
Mickleover Sports form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Non League Premier: Northern game of the season here at Don Amott Leisure Group Arena. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses from Mickleover Sports's 13 home games.
The Mickleover Sports crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Morpeth Town here at Don Amott Leisure Group Arena in a Non League Premier: Northern match. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Leek Town.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Mickleover have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost four.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the FA Cup game versus Newark Flowserve in only four days. This game is also played here at Don Amott Leisure Group Arena.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Mickleover Sports at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Witton Albion form and stats
Only one away game in the Non League Premier: Northern so far for Witton Albion and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 victories, 7 draws and 7 losses from 16 travels.
It's the second away game in a row for Witton Albion, but there's smiles all around after the 4-1 victory versus Radcliffe Borough (placed 22nd) in the Non League Premier: Northern last time out.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Witton playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were four Witton Albion wins, six draws and four defeats.
After this away game Witton return home for a Non League Premier: Northern game against Matlock Town. That game is only four sleeps after this.
