Matlock Town form and stats

Matlock enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Quorn's place. The match ended 2-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Bamber Bridge (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Matlock have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Basford United are coming to town in three days.

Last season, Matlock Town's league statistics were 8 wins, 5 draws and 16 losses, resulting in a 20th position in the Non League Premier: Northern.
