With the nervous opening match out of the way it’s time for the second Non League Premier: Northern battle of the season. Morpeth Town are ready to confront Workington in front of their stadium regulars.
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
The season before, Morpeth Town's league results were 14 wins, 7 draws and 21 losses, producing 17th spot in the Non League Premier: Northern. Over these 42 matches they scored {55 goals} and let in 63. Playing at home in the last season Morpeth Town managed 9-3-9 (win-draw-lost) with {32 goals} and 30 conceded.
An away draw last time out for Morpeth Town, facing Basford United in a game that ended 2-2.
Preceding that fixture, a home victory hosting Blyth Spartans in the Northumberland Senior Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Morpeth have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 1 and lost 5.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Morpeth Town as they have a new game in only four days, a Non League Premier: Northern match thankfully also at home. Matlock Town are visiting.
Workington form and stats
Let's have a look at how Workington performed last season in the Non League Div One: Northern West: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 71 and conceded {39 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 12 - drew 2 and lost 5 with 35/25 goals scored/conceded.
The regulars enjoyed Workington's previous fixture versus Ashton United (placed 22nd), a 5-0 win played at home. As mentioned above, Workington was the only team on the pitch versus Ashton United in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
Earlier, the Cumberland Senior Cup victory away at Penrith AFC.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Workington manager Andrews as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ilkeston Town.
