With their 6 point advantage in the league table, Whitby Town fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Ashton United.
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 Whitby and Ashton United.
Whitby Town form and stats
Perfect Non League Premier: Northern season at home so far for Whitby Town 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Whitby faced defeat in their previous match, away at Morpeth Town (1-3). Before that, Whitby played out a Non League Premier: Northern draw 3-3 when visiting Radcliffe Borough.
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 Whitby have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won zero times, drawn three and lost four.
The manager C. Hardy will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Matlock Town in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Whitby Town's 2 home games: 4 goals, 1 conceded.
Ashton United form and stats
Things could have gone better for Ashton United in their Non League Premier: Northern away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Three has not been a lucky number for Ashton as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Bamber Bridge match. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ashton are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Ashton United have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 243 minutes ago. B. Hardcastle was the goal scorer.
Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Mickleover Sports.
Ashton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and two defeats. From a total of five matches.
A new game in only four days for Ashton United, the Non League Premier: Northern home match versus Hyde United. Busy days.
The attacking power of Ashton when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Ashton struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 5 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Whitby, one draw and five wins for Ashton United. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Whitby Town missing players
