Possible nail-biting contest in Lewes - Horsham game

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.

Lewes form and stats

Lewes have played three Non League Premier: Isthmian home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Lewes are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Lewes manager G. Wilson might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Lewes crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Horsham here at The Dripping Pan in a Non League Premier: Isthmian match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Margate.

This is expected to be a close game, with Lewes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lewes as a small favourite), we find seven games. Lewes has won 1 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

Lewes has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Horsham form and stats

Horsham are happy with their away performances in the Non League Premier: Isthmian so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. Horsham have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

Horsham play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Lewes. Before that one, a nice away victory 6-1 at Tower Hamlets.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Horsham playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were 1 Horsham win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.

The Horsham manager has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
