Leiston form and stats

When playing at home in the Non League Premier: Southern Central, Leiston have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.

Stress levels are on the rise for Leiston's attacking players as they have now played 209 minutes without scoring in a league game. Loza  was their last goal scorer.

Leiston faced defeat in their previous match, away at Mickleover Sports (0-5). As you see from the result above, Leiston suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Ahead of that match, a home win hosting St Ives Town in the FA Cup. 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 Leiston have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as St Albans City are coming to town in four days.

The Leiston fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Leiston have conceded 4 in these home matches.

St Ives Town form and stats

St Ives Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Non League Premier: Southern Central, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).

St Ives Town failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs AFC Telford United (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 2-3. St Ives Town were so close to getting something from the game against AFC Telford United, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.

A defeat, in the FA Cup away at Leiston, before that. Ives are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

St Ives Town have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. As opposed to that, Ives have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head
