Whitby Town form and stats

With 4 Non League Premier: Northern wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Whitby Town are certainly not brimming with confidence.

A nice win for Whitby Town last time playing, versus Marske United. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1.

Before that match, a win away at Stalybridge Celtic.

This is expected to be a close game, with Whitby Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Whitby as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Whitby Town has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 8.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Whitby Town as they have a new game in only three days, a Non League Premier: Northern match thankfully also at home. Ashton United are visiting.

Whitby have scored {13 league goals} here from 14 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.

Rylands form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Non League Premier: Northern travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

The attacking players of Rylands have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 247 minutes.

The manager was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium. Rylands suffered a 0-1 loss to South Shields (placed 1st).

Prior to that match, the Rylands manager faced defeat when travelling to Atherton Collieries and losing 0-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rylands playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 1 Rylands win, 0 draws and 3 defeats.

Observe: 8 of the last 10 league games involving this side have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).

Rylands are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 28 times in 15 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Rylands's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.
