The visiting Buxton side should be favourites in this visit to Bamber Bridge, as the away team holds a 7 point advantage from their six league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bamber and Buxton.
Bamber Bridge form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Bamber Bridge's two home games in the Non League Premier: Northern so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Sir Tom Finney Stadium. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Bamber with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Ashton United game, 17 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
No payout for Bamber in their previous match, an away game at Atherton Collieries that ended in defeat 0-5. Prior to that, an away loss at Basford United.
As you see from the result above, Bamber suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Bamber, as the Non League Premier: Northern home game vs Gainsborough Trinity is only three days away.
Early season league goal statistics from Bamber Bridge's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.
Buxton form and stats
Things could have gone better for Buxton in their Non League Premier: Northern away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Buxton delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Mickleover Sports (placed 8th) in their previous match; a Non League Premier: Northern game. That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Scarborough Athletic.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Non League Premier: Northern trip to Warrington Town.
It's early days yet, but Buxton has scored 5 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Bamber two wins, two draws and Buxton zero victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Bamber Bridge missing players
