Bromley form and stats

1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Bromley playing as the away team in the National League this season.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Solihull Moors (placed 6th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Solihull Moors after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Woodman needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Oldham Athletic.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bromley playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Bromley wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats.

Goal alert! This team have played 6 consecutive league matches all ending with three or more than three goals (over 2.5 goals).

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gateshead in just four days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Bromley have scored 7 goals in 5 league games away. The Bromley manager Woodman has some worries about the defense as 11 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Boreham have won at least one point in the last 4 fixtures (2-2-0) facing Bromley.
