Match week two of the Non League Premier: Isthmian campaign and the squads have digested the first game. Here's the Kingstonian - Wingate & Finchley pre-match guide:
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Kingstonian form and stats
Last season, Kingstonian's league results were 17 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses, leading to 10th place in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. From these 42 matches they scored 68 goals and let in 71. Appearing as the home team in the former season Kingstonian produced 10-5-6 (win-draw-lost) with 39 goals and 30 conceded.
The Kingstonian manager Bird and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Margate (placed 5th).
In the match before that, Kingstonian hosted Leatherhead and drew the game 2-2.The match schedule is unforgiving for Kingstonian as they have a new game in only four days, a Non League Premier: Isthmian match thankfully also at home. Enfield Town are visiting.
Wingate & Finchley form and stats
Let's have a look at how Wingate & Finchley performed last season in the Non League Premier: Isthmian: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 10 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 60 and conceded 74 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 11 with 26/44 goals scored/conceded.
Wingate & Finchley delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Lewes (placed 4th) in their previous game.
Preceding that game was the away victory against AFC Hornchurch with the score of 2-1.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Finchley playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 2 away wins, 2 draws and 1 home win.
Wingate & Finchley have another match that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Non League Premier: Isthmian fixture against Folkestone Invicta. A grim timetable for the visitors!
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the previous ten meetings featuring these two squads are: five wins for Kingstonian, one draw and four wins for Wingate & Finchley. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.
