Market Drayton Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Market Drayton Town so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-10 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Market Drayton Town have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Market Drayton Town might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Highgate United proved too strong as Market Drayton Town slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Greenfields Sports Ground. Market Drayton Town lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Whitchurch Alport wasn't a success with a 2-6 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Drayton as they have only managed to score 6 times from 11 away games in the league. Market Drayton Town have conceded 25 goals in these games.
