Morpeth Town form and stats
With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Morpeth to get some points in this home game.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 188 minutes without scoring a league goal. C. Reid was the last player to find the net.
Morpeth lost their last game at Stalybridge Celtic (placed 15th) after a 0-2 scoreline.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting United of Manchester (0-3).This is expected to be a close game, with Morpeth Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Morpeth Town as a small favourite), we find three games. Morpeth Town has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Morpeth, as the Non League Premier: Northern home game vs Atherton Collieries is only four days away.
Bamber Bridge form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Non League Premier: Northern ended in defeat. Last season Bamber Bridge had these away match statistics: Played 5; won 0, drew 1 and lost 4.
The supporters enjoyed Bamber's previous game versus Gainsborough Trinity (placed 20th), a Non League Premier: Northern 5-1 win played at home. As mentioned above, Bamber was the only team on the pitch versus Gainsborough Trinity in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Hyde United.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Bamber Bridge in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Bamber, one draw and seven defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bamber Bridge manager N. Crowe as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Nantwich Town.
It's early days yet, but Bamber Bridge has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Morpeth Town one win, zero draws and Bamber Bridge one victory. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero games had two or less.Morpeth Town missing players
