Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Newcastle Town & Belper Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Non League Div One: Northern South game only four days ago. That game, against Stocksbridge Park Steels, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Belper Town.
Newcastle Town form and stats
Last season, Newcastle's Fa Trophy journey ended in the preliminary round.Newcastle Town have collected seven points from their first three Non League Div One: Northern South games here at Lyme Valley Stadium, a promising start. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Newcastle after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Newcastle Town's previous game was a Non League Div One: Northern South match also played at home, ending 6-1 versus Carlton Town. The home side are looking to build on that result.
As mentioned above, Newcastle "killed" Carlton Town in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Newcastle, as the Non League Div One: Northern South home game vs Ilkeston Town is only three days away.
Goals decide football matches and Newcastle are scoring many of them at home; 7 on target from 3 league matches. Newcastle Town have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Belper Town form and stats
They also participated in Fa Trophy last season. This ended in the preliminary round.Belper Town have six points from their first three away games in the Non League Div One: Northern South, meaning two victories and a loss.
Belper lost away at Stocksbridge Park Steels (3-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Stocksbridge Park Steels was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Belper are scoring goals for fun in their league games away this season, having clocked up more than three goals per game on average (9 goals from 3 away games). The Belper manager G. Black has some worries about the defense as 6 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Newcastle, four draws and five wins for Belper Town. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Newcastle Town missing players
