Nantwich Town form and stats

Happy days for Nantwich in their previous game, a FA Cup match away at Tividale that ended with a 4-2 victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at United of Manchester that finished 1-1.

A goal frenzy last time out for Nantwich, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Tividale. Fun stuff to watch!

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Nantwich have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won five times, drawn zero and lost two.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Nantwich, as the Non League Premier: Northern home game vs Buxton is only three days away.

Last season, Nantwich Town's league statistics were 15 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses, resulting in a 6th position in the Non League Premier: Northern. Over these 31 matches they scored 55 goals and conceded 39. Playing at home last season Nantwich Town managed 9-1-4 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 17 conceded.
