Competition: England Non League Premier: Northern
Competition: Tue 29.September
Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)

The Non League Premier: Northern league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Matlock Town and Basford United are placed 9th and 13th respectively.

It's no vacation for neither Matlock nor Basford United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Matlock Town form and stats

Matlock Town have only played one Non League Premier: Northern game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 15 matches.

Matlock's last game was hosting Stafford Rangers (placed 20th) and winning 2-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Quorn and winning 2-0.

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

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

Matlock Town has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Basford United form and stats

Only one away game in the Non League Premier: Northern so far for Basford United and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 6 victories, 4 draws and 4 losses from 14 travels.

Two travels in a row for Basford, whose manager M. Carruthers could celebrate last time after the Non League Premier: Northern win against Lancaster City. It was a FA Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Chasetown wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

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.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Basford manager M. Carruthers as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Witton Albion.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Basford United has managed 2 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Last six meetings between the teams: Matlock Town won three, Basford United won two and one draw. three games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
