A demanding season for Ashton United so far, and that also applies to Mickleover Sports. These students from the school of hard knocks pray for some crucial points here.
- Ashton United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Mickleover Sports have the most dropped points from leading position (13) in Non League Premier: Northern
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Ashton United form and stats
When playing at home in the Non League Premier: Northern, Ashton United have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games. When Ashton United hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Nantwich Town, Morpeth Town, Witton Albion, Grantham Town, Gainsborough Trinity, Hyde United and Ashton United), they have won 1 of 2 matches! There’s a good atmosphere here at Hurst Cross after three straight home wins.
In their previous game, the manager Clegg led his Ashton to a defeat in the Non League Premier: Northern match away at Buxton. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Hurst Cross.
Before that game, the home loss against Guiseley with the scoreline 1-2.The Ashton fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Mickleover Sports form and stats
There's been little loot from Mickleover Sports's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Non League Premier: Northern. Mickleover Sports only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Mickleover are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Mickleover, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-4 versus Whitby Town (placed 6th). As you can tell from the result, the match against Whitby Town was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
A draw for Mickleover Sports before that, at their own venue hosting Grantham Town (2-2).The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Mickleover manager McGrath has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
