Leiston form and stats

Leiston have collected 27 points from their Non League Premier: Southern Central home games so far after 8-3-3. Leiston has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Wigger and the players.

The Leiston crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Banbury United here at Victory Road.

Prior to that, an away loss at St Ives Town.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
