Hitchin Town form and stats

Hitchin Town have collected 24 points from their Non League Premier: Southern Central home games so far after 6-6-2.

Hitchin Town are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus St Ives Town. The first loss after going unbeaten in three league matches. The defeat against St Ives Town was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by Richens).

Before that, Hitchin Town drew at home versus Bedford Town.

An interesting fact: 15 of the most recent 19 league matches from this football club have had at least one goal from each team.
