Stourbridge form and stats
When playing at home in the Non League Premier: Southern Central, Stourbridge have managed 2 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 9 games.
Happy days for Stourbridge in their previous game, a Non League Premier: Southern Central match away at Needham Market (placed 17th) that ended with a 3-1 victory.
Heartbreak before that as Stourbridge lost 1-5 at Alvechurch's place.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 Stourbridge have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 19 games) they have won seven times, drawn seven and lost five.
The manager Pierpoint will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barwell in only three days.
Stourbridge are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Stourbridge have conceded 15 from these games.
Hitchin Town form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hitchin Town so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-6 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
Hitchin's previous game was their home loss versus AFC Rushden & Diamonds (1-2).
Prior to that match, the Hitchin manager Burke faced defeat when travelling to Barwell and losing 1-2.We have checked recent matches where Hitchin have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were three victories, two draws and eight defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Hitchin manager Burke as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Rushall Olympic.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hitchin Town as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. Hitchin struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 15 goals conceded from these games. When Hitchin is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Lowestoft Town, Redditch United, Hitchin Town, St Ives Town, Needham Market and Nuneaton Town.
