Kings Langley and Banbury United have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Non League Premier: Southern Central.
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 Langley and Banbury United.
Kings Langley form and stats
Kings Langley have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Langley are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of five drawn games in a row. Two draws in a row at home now for Langley.
An away draw last time out for Langley, facing Rushall Olympic in a game that ended 1-1. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Stourbridge the opponent.
This is expected to be a close game, with Langley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kings Langley as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Kings Langley has won three of these, drawn three and lost seven.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Langley as they have a new game in only four days, a Fa Trophy match thankfully also at home. Brightlingsea Regent are visiting.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (6 in 3 games), Langley's attacking play is working. Kings Langley have conceded 5 from these games.
Banbury United form and stats
Things could have gone better for Banbury United in their Non League Premier: Southern Central away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Banbury had fun at their own home last time out, beating Bury Town 2-1. A 1-6 defeat away at Coalville Town before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Banbury playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Banbury United wins, four draws and four defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Banbury manager as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Tamworth.
The travelling fans enjoy Banbury United's attacking play in away games, having scored 5 goals in 3 league matches away. There are big problems for the Banbury United defense as they have conceded 9 goals in 3 away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last five matches): Langley one win, one draw and Banbury United three victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Kings Langley missing players
