The Non League Premier: Northern league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Warrington Town and Atherton Collieries are placed 1st and 12th respectively.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Warrington Town and Atherton Collieries.
Warrington Town form and stats
The hosts won their first Non League Premier: Northern game here at Cantilever Park, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Warrington Town last season were 9 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses from 17 games.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Warrington, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 196 minutes in the Non League Premier: Northern.
Warrington Town's last game was hosting Gainsborough Trinity (placed 14th) and winning 3-0. In the match before that, Warrington hosted South Shields (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) and drew the FA Cup game 0-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Warrington matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and two defeats (from six games).
There will be little rest for Warrington after this match as they are travelling to Morpeth Town for a Non League Premier: Northern game in only four days.
At Cantilever Park, Warrington Town has the goal stats of 3-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Atherton Collieries form and stats
Only one away game in the Non League Premier: Northern so far for Atherton Collieries and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 2 victories, 3 draws and 8 losses from 13 travels.
Collieries play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Grantham Town (placed 16th). A loss against Scarborough Athletic was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Atherton Collieries when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Collieries manager B. Cooke as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Guiseley.
Atherton Collieries have the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Warrington Town one win, one draw and Atherton Collieries zero victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Warrington Town missing players
