Sutton United form and stats

As the visiting team in National League matches, Sutton United have produced an overall stat of 3-1-0 so far.

Sutton are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 3-3 draw at Wealdstone (placed 4th). A draw for Sutton United before that, at their own venue hosting Dagenham & Redbridge (1-1).

It looked so good for Sutton United vs Wealdstone, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. As you can tell from the result, the match against Wealdstone was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sutton playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were six Sutton United wins, three draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sutton are hosting Halifax Town in the National League only four days away.
