The Southport followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at Haig Avenue: A 0-1 defeat against Gloucester City (placed 8th). The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten in five league rounds.
Ahead of that result, a home victory against Ashton Athletic in the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

It should be taken into account that a glance at the 10 latest league matches reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored a goal).

Banbury United form and stats

That's how long the Banbury United goalkeeper Jack Harding and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
There were no winners in Banbury's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Blyth Spartans (placed 22nd).
A draw for Banbury United before that, at their own venue hosting Darlington (0-0).Banbury United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
