Rylands form and stats

Things could have gone better for Rylands in their Non League Premier: Northern away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Rylands might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hyde United proved too strong as Rylands slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league games winning points. A huge disappointment for Rylands in their last match (vs Hyde United). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-4 defeat.

The match earlier was the FA Cup-duel against Hyde United, a home loss (0-4).

A new game in only three days for Rylands, the Non League Premier: Northern home match versus Marske United. Busy days.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 8 goals in 3 league games away this season. Rylands's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
