The visiting Hednesford Town side should be favourites in this visit to Leiston, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Fa Trophy game only three days ago. That game, against Sutton Coldfield Town, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Hednesford Town.
Leiston form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Non League Premier: Southern this season. Leiston, who have the most conceded goals (58) in Non League Premier: Southern, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Victory Road.
The Leiston fans got no joy from their last match, a Non League Premier: Southern game also here at Victory Road: A 0-8 defeat against Bromsgrove Sporting (placed 9th). Heartbreak before that as Leiston lost 0-4 at Tamworth's place.
Leiston were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Banbury United are coming to town in four days.
Leiston are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 attempts. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Leiston have let the opposition score 22 times, an average of more than three per game.
Hednesford Town form and stats
Playing away, Hednesford Town have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Non League Premier: Southern this season.
Two travels in a row for Hednesford Town, whose manager G. Hayward could celebrate last time after the Fa Trophy win against Sutton Coldfield Town. Before that, Hednesford Town travelled to Barwell and returned home with a draw after the Non League Premier: Southern game finished 4-4.
As mentioned above, Hednesford Town was the only team on the pitch versus Sutton Coldfield Town in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
The schedule is very tough for Hednesford Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Southern game at St Ives Town is waiting in only four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Hednesford Town's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 6 league matches away. Hednesford Town have conceded 10 goals in these games.
