Round two of the Non League Div One: Northern West season and the participants have had a few days to digest the first game. Here's our Widnes - Bootle FC preview:
It's no vacation for neither Widnes nor Bootle FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Widnes form and stats
Last season, Widnes's league statistics were 13 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses, results that produced 13th position in the Non League Div One: Northern West. From these 38 matches they scored 46 goals and conceded 45. Playing at home in the former season Widnes produced 8-4-7 (win-draw-lost) with 27 goals and 23 conceded.
Widnes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Runcorn Linnets.
Widnes are traveling soon after this match as the FA Cup match at Bury AFC awaits in four days.
Bootle FC form and stats

In total they scored 78 and conceded 65 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 2 and lost 8 with 38/35 goals scored/conceded.
This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Leek Town with 0-4 on the scoreboard. Bootle FC lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.
A 2-2 draw at Rylands's stadium before that.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The FA Cup trip to Congleton Town FC.
Head 2 Head
