An important duel in the bottom section of the Non League Premier: Northern, with both Radcliffe Borough and Buxton experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 17th place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Radcliffe Borough form and stats

7 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Radcliffe Borough have to build on here at Stainton Park Stadium in the Non League Premier: Northern. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Radcliffe Borough with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Ashton United game, 24 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 192 minutes without scoring a league goal. M. Hughes was the last player to find the net.

Radcliffe Borough's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Lancaster City (placed 2nd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Matlock Town (0-4).

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

The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Whitby Town in only three days.

Radcliffe Borough are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. 14 goals have been conceded.

Buxton form and stats

Buxton have only collected 14 points from their away games in the Non League Premier: Northern, after 3-5-6 (14 played).

Buxton's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Gainsborough Trinity that finished 3-3. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Stafford Rangers that ended 0-0.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Gainsborough Trinity was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Buxton in our archives, and the results are: one win for Buxton, three draws and zero defeats.

Buxton are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 18 away goals from 14 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Buxton have conceded 27 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
