Grantham Town form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Non League Premier: Northern this season. Grantham Town have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 12 losses from their games here at South Kesteven Stadium.

The regulars are hoping that Grantham Town will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Bamber Bridge (placed 7th).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Morpeth Town in a game that was won 3-2.

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 as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Grantham Town has won six of these, drawn one and lost four.

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nantwich Town in only three days.

The Grantham Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 17 matches. Grantham Town are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (37 from 17 played).
