Nantwich Town form and stats

With 2 Non League Premier: Northern wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Nantwich Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Nantwich Town have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

It's back home for Nantwich Town, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Belper Town away with the result 3-1. Sweet to taste a league win after three matches without.

Heartbreak before that as Nantwich lost 1-2 at Guiseley's place.

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