A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Colne and Clitheroe.
Colne form and stats
Overall stats at home this season for Colne are 11-1-6 (wins-draw-losses). After failing to beat Prescot Cables here at xlcr Stadium, Colne has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.The fans are hoping that Colne will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Non League Div One: Northern North game against Widnes. Ahead of that match, Colne won a home game hosting Radcliffe Borough (1-0).
The Colne fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 32 goals in 18 matches. 24 goals have been conceded.
Clitheroe form and stats
Clitheroe have only collected 17 points from their away games after 4-5-9 (18 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Clitheroe who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Trafford was the last time a defeat was avoided. Clitheroe seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Non League Div One: Northern North home defeat versus Leek Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Atherton Collieries wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
Clitheroe have scored 22 goals on their travels this season, 18 away games. The Clitheroe manager has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
