It's the second chance for points this season as Lancaster City and Basford United battle it out at Giant Axe.
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.
Lancaster City form and stats
Lancaster drew their last game, also a home match. Runcorn Town (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. 1-1 away at Stalybridge Celtic before that.
This is expected to be a close game, with Lancaster City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lancaster City as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Lancaster has won seven of these, drawn five and lost two.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lancaster, as the Non League Premier: Northern home game vs Morpeth Town is only three days away.
Last season, Lancaster City's league statistics were 15 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, resulting in a 5th position in the Non League Premier: Northern. Over these 34 matches they scored 58 goals and conceded 46. Playing at home last season Lancaster City managed 7-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 24 goals and 18 conceded.
Basford United form and stats
The attacking players of Basford have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 364 minutes.
Basford United lost away at Chasetown (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Warrington Town.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Basford in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Basford United, four draws and five defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Basford now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Northern game at Matlock Town is waiting in only three days.
Let's have a look at how Basford United performed last season in the Non League Premier: Northern: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 7 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 49 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 4 with 19/17 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
Lancaster City-Basford United H2H statistics last three meetings regardless of arena: Lancaster City zero wins, Basford United two wins, one draw. two of these three matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Lancaster City missing players
