National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Boston United or Chesterfield that keep their silverware dream alive.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Boston United form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 3rd round qualifying.Boston United have played 6 Vanarama National League North games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Boston drew their last game, 1-1 away at Bradford Park Avenue. Before that, Boston drew at home versus Kettering Town.
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 Boston have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost three.
Boston are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Boston have conceded 7 goals.
Chesterfield form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the 1st round.3-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Chesterfield in their National League matches away.
Chesterfield lost away at Solihull Moors (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Solihull Moors in the National League.
Chesterfield were so close to getting something from the game against Solihull Moors, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Chesterfield in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Chesterfield, five draws and three defeats.
After this away game Chesterfield return home for a National League game against Wrexham. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Chesterfield have scored 10 goals in 7 league games away. In the opposite end, Chesterfield have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
