South Shields form and stats

South Shields have played three Non League Premier: Northern home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Shields are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Mariners Park, having lost their two previous games here.

The Shields fans got no joy from their last match, a Non League Premier: Northern game also here at Mariners Park: A 0-1 defeat against Matlock Town (placed 4th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Southport that finished 1-1.

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 South Shields have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for South Shields as they have a new game in only four days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Halifax Town are visiting.

South Shields has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. 4 goals have been conceded.

Morpeth Town form and stats

Morpeth Town are still undefeated on their travels in the Non League Premier: Northern. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Before that, Morpeth travelled to Lancaster City and returned home with a draw after the Non League Premier: Northern game finished 2-2.

Morpeth are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of two matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Ashton United in just four days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Morpeth Town has managed 4 goals and let in 3 from 2 matches.
