Nantwich Town form and stats

Nantwich Town's struggle is real here at The Weaver Stadium with only 5 points collected from 8 Non League Premier: Northern games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-5. With seven home Non League Premier: Northern games in a row without a win, the Nantwich Town fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Stalybridge Celtic game long ago, can be stopped today.

Nantwich Town's previous game was a Fa Trophy match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Barwell. The home side are looking to build on that result.

Ahead of that match, Nantwich Town lost 2-3 at home to Morpeth Town.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nantwich Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nantwich Town as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Nantwich Town has won seven of these, drawn one and lost five.

Nantwich have scored 6 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Nantwich have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Gainsborough Trinity form and stats

There's been little loot from Gainsborough Trinity's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Non League Premier: Northern. Gainsborough Trinity only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.

The Gainsborough goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 183 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 3-0 against Coalville Town in their previous game.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Atherton Collieries in the Non League Premier: Northern.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gainsborough playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were five Gainsborough Trinity wins, one draw and six defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Gainsborough Trinity now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Northern game at United of Manchester is waiting in only four days.

Goals are few and far between in Gainsborough's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Gainsborough's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head
