Nuneaton Town form and stats

In the previous season, Nuneaton Town's league results were 11 wins, 10 draws and 19 losses, results that produced 16th place in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. From these 40 matches they scored 51 goals and conceded 62. Playing as the host team in the previous season Nuneaton Town delivered 4-8-8 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 26 conceded.

The followers are hoping that Nuneaton Town will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the game against Leiston (placed 4th). Heartbreak for Nuneaton in their last match as Leiston's Mills scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

In the game before, an away victory match versus AFC Rushden & Diamonds with a 1-0 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nuneaton Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nuneaton Town as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Nuneaton Town has won 3 of these, drawn 6 and lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nuneaton as they are travelling to their away game against Basford United in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. That match is three days after this one.

In total they scored 65 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 10 - drew 2 and lost 8 with 32/28 goals scored/conceded.

Royston Town are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the fixture against Basford United (placed 20th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Alvechurch wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
