Marine form and stats

Marine's struggle is real here at The Marine Travel Arena with only 17 points collected from 18 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 4-5-9. With Marine having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager N. Young.

This is expected to be a close game, with Marine perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Marine as a small favourite), we find two games. Marine has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Non League Premier: Northern game versus Buxton in only three days. This game is also played here at The Marine Travel Arena.

The Marine fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 19 in 18 matches. Marine's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 26 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
