Grantham Town form and stats

Grantham Town, who have the most conceded goals (57) in Non League Premier: Northern, have played 13 Non League Premier: Northern games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-5 (wins-draws-losses). Grantham Town has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager and the players.

Grantham Town lost their last game at Hyde United (placed 12th) after a 0-3 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Mickleover Sports.

The Grantham Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.

Buxton form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Buxton so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-6 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Buxton's previous match, a Non League Premier: Northern home game that ended 2-2 vs United of Manchester (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bamber Bridge wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Buxton manager M. McIntosh as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Stafford Rangers.

Buxton have scored 15 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. For Buxton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Buxton - Grantham Town 7-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 3 - 0 - 7 (Grantham Town wins - draws - Buxton wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
