Atherton Collieries form and stats

Atherton Collieries have played three Non League Premier: Northern home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Atherton Collieries drew their last game, 1-1 away at Matlock Town (placed 5th). Preceding that match was the home game against Mickleover Sports that was lost 1-3.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Atherton Collieries have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Stafford Rangers are coming to town in three days.

Basford United form and stats

Playing away, Basford United have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Non League Premier: Northern this season.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Basford United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus South Shields (placed 1st). Prior to that result Basford United won their away game at Bamber Bridge. The scoreline was 3-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Basford United playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were 4 Basford United wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Basford United manager M. Carruthers as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Scarborough Athletic.

Basford United are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 6 away goals from 5 games (in the league). Basford United have conceded 6 goals in these away matches.
