Game week two of the Non League Premier: Northern season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Radcliffe Borough - Witton Albion preview:
It's no vacation for neither Radcliffe nor Witton Albion as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Radcliffe Borough form and stats
Radcliffe's last game was hosting Workington and winning 5-3. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Buxton (2-4).
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
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 Radcliffe Borough have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Radcliffe as they have a new game in only three days, a Non League Premier: Northern match thankfully also at home. Bamber Bridge are visiting.
Last season, Radcliffe Borough's league statistics were 11 wins, 5 draws and 16 losses, resulting in a 16th position in the Non League Premier: Northern. Over these 32 matches they scored 34 goals and conceded 50. Playing at home last season Radcliffe Borough managed 7-5-4 (win-draw-lost) with 20 goals and 18 conceded.
Witton Albion form and stats
A 0-2 loss hosting Whitby Town before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Witton in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Witton Albion, six draws and four defeats.
Witton has another fixture away, a Non League Premier: Northern game, against Mickleover Sports in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Let's have a look at how Witton Albion performed last season in the Non League Premier: Northern: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 9 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded 43 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 7 and lost 7 with 15/23 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Radcliffe wins - draws - Witton Albion wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Radcliffe Borough missing players
