Alvechurch form and stats

Alvechurch's struggle is real here at Lye Meadow with only 9 points collected from 11 Non League Premier: Southern games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-6. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Lye Meadow, with the home team losing five in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the St Ives Town game. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Alvechurch with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Redditch United game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 264 minutes without scoring a league goal. L. Wright was the last player to find the net.

Alvechurch's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-3 versus Stourbridge (placed 11th). Ahead of that match, Alvechurch lost 0-1 at home to Hednesford Town.

The Alvechurch fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
