AFC Rushden & Diamonds form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for AFC Rushden & Diamonds so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-7 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Diamonds's last three away games as they have all been lost.
AFC Rushden & Diamonds had fun at their own home (Garden Walk Stadium) last time out, beating Kings Langley 4-2. Those three points felt sweet as this team had gone four league rounds without winning. As you can tell from the result, the match against Kings Langley was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Bromsgrove Sporting.Looking at the earlier recent performances of AFC Rushden & Diamonds when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 6 matches with the visitors losing 4 times, drawing 1 and winning 1 game.

Head 2 Head
