An important duel in the bottom section of the Non League Premier: Northern, with both Morpeth Town and Bamber Bridge experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 20th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Morpeth Town form and stats
A Non League Premier: Northern draw at home so far for Morpeth Town. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat from 12 matches.
A nice win for Morpeth last time playing, versus Whitby Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1. A Non League Premier: Northern defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Stalybridge Celtic.
There will be little rest for Morpeth after this match as they are travelling to Stafford Rangers for a Non League Premier: Northern game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Morpeth Town at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Bamber Bridge form and stats
0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Bamber Bridge, who have the the worst goal difference (-7) away in Non League Premier: Northern, playing as the away team in the Non League Premier: Northern this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Bamber who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Ashton United was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Bamber are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Bamber play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Radcliffe Borough (placed 12th). A 0-1 loss hosting Gainsborough Trinity before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bamber manager N. Crowe as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Buxton.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Bamber's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. The Bamber manager N. Crowe has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
