AFC Rushden & Diamonds are itching to get the points at their own ground in this upcoming fixture hosting Hitchin Town.
- AFC Rushden & Diamonds have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won at home.
- Hitchin Town have lost all their away matches so far.
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.
AFC Rushden & Diamonds form and stats
AFC Rushden & Diamonds have played three Non League Premier: Southern Central 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.
The home team returns to Hayden Road after being equal after 90 minutes with Needham Market (placed 20th) on their last time out; the Non League Premier: Southern Central game ended 2-2.
Before that match, a win away at Nuneaton Town.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Diamonds, as the Non League Premier: Southern Central home game vs Royston Town is only three days away.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for AFC Rushden & Diamonds here at Hayden Road in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). 4 goals have been conceded.
Hitchin Town form and stats
It's not happening yet for Hitchin Town on their Non League Premier: Southern Central travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three consecutive losses in away matches means Hitchin Town are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a FA Cup home defeat versus Cheshunt with 0-3 on the scoreboard.
Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Barwell in the Non League Premier: Southern Central.The schedule is very tough for Hitchin now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Southern Central game at Tamworth is waiting in only three days.
