An important duel in the bottom section of the Non League Premier: Northern, with both Grantham Town and Stalybridge Celtic experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 21st and the visitors in 19th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Grantham Town form and stats
When playing at home in the Non League Premier: Northern, Grantham Town have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 4 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Grantham with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Stafford Rangers game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Grantham manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
L. Hardy was the last player to score a league goal for Grantham Town and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Grantham Town haven't scored in 199 minutes.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Mickleover Sports (0-3).
This is expected to be a close game, with Grantham Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Grantham Town as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Grantham Town has won seven of these, drawn one and lost eight.
There will be little rest for Grantham after this match as they are travelling to Radcliffe Borough for a Non League Premier: Northern game in only four days.
Grantham has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Grantham have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Stalybridge Celtic form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Non League Premier: Northern for Stalybridge Celtic with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.
A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Morpeth Town.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stalybridge Celtic playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Stalybridge Celtic wins, two draws and four defeats.
A new game in only four days for Stalybridge, the Non League Premier: Northern home match versus Witton Albion. Busy days.
Stalybridge have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. The Stalybridge manager S. Burr has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
