With their 8 point advantage in the league table, Mickleover Sports fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Grantham Town.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Mickleover and Grantham Town.
Mickleover Sports form and stats
Mickleover Sports have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Non League Premier: Northern. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Don Amott Leisure Group Arena.
The home team returns to Don Amott Leisure Group Arena after being equal after 90 minutes with Buxton (placed 5th) on their last time out; the Non League Premier: Northern game ended 2-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting Ashton United and winning 3-0.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Hyde United are coming to town in three days.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Mickleover's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Grantham Town form and stats
The Non League Premier: Northern season is young and Grantham Town have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far. It's a growing despair in Grantham Town as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Non League Premier: Northern home defeat versus Matlock Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A loss against Lancaster City was the result prior to that, in a home game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Grantham Town manager as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Ashton United.
1 goal so far away for Grantham Town, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Mickleover four wins, one draw and Grantham Town five victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Mickleover Sports missing players
