Stevenage form and stats

6-6-7 (win-draw-lost) are the League Two numbers at home for Stevenage so far this season. When Stevenage hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Scunthorpe United, Leyton Orient, Carlisle United, Colchester United, Rochdale, Stevenage and Barrow), they have won 2 of 5 matches! The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Stevenage faced defeat in their previous match, away at Exeter City (1-2). The talented striker Norris outperformed all others in that game and got a match rating of 7.8 out of 10. Norris scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times.

Ahead of that match, Stevenage lost 1-2 at home to Northampton Town.

Stevenage are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 19 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Stevenage's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 27 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. Stevenage has at home met teams with this table position (low), five times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 5 of 5 times.
