Leamington form and stats

Leamington have played 10 Vanarama National League North games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Leamington, who played 2-2 against AFC Telford United. That match was also played at this venue (The Phillips 66 Community Stadium). A disappointing finish for Leamington in their match versus AFC Telford United as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

Before that, Leamington played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Gloucester City.

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 Leamington have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost five.

A decent goal production from Leamington in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 10 league matches. 13 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Gloucester City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gloucester City so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Gloucester has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

There were no winners in Gloucester's previous match, a Vanarama National League North home game that ended 0-0 vs Leamington (placed 10th).

A 0-5 defeat away at Wrexham before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gloucester City playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Gloucester win, two draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Gloucester as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Gloucester City concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
