Season ticket holders at The Silverlands haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Buxton languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Mickleover Sports will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Buxton form and stats
Buxton's results here at The Silverlands in the Non League Premier: Northern have been very modest with 2 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
The fans are hoping that Buxton will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Non League Premier: Northern game against Stalybridge Celtic (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Atherton Collieries that finished 1-1.
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 Buxton have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won 5 Drawn 4 Lost 2.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (16 in 8 games), Buxton's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Buxton have conceded 11 goals.

2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Mickleover Sports playing as the away team in the Non League Premier: Northern this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Mickleover Sports who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Morpeth Town was the last time a defeat was avoided.
