Season ticket holders at Imber Court haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Metropolitan Police FC languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Wimborne Town will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Metropolitan Police FC form and stats
Metropolitan Police FC's results here at Imber Court in the Non League Premier: Southern have been very modest with 1 victory, 1 draw and 6 defeats.
Metropolitan Police FC's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Farnborough (placed 9th). A Fa Trophy defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Biggleswade Town.
This is expected to be a close game, with Metropolitan Police FC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Metropolitan Police FC as a small favourite), we find nine games. Metropolitan Police FC has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Metropolitan Police FC as they have a new game in only four days, a Non League Premier: Southern match thankfully also at home. Chesham United are visiting.
Metropolitan Police FC have scored 7 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. Metropolitan Police FC have conceded 15 from these games.
Wimborne Town form and stats
There's been little loot from Wimborne Town's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Non League Premier: Southern. Wimborne Town only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
It's the second away game in a row for Wimborne Town, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Harrow Borough (placed 12th) in the Non League Premier: Southern last time out. A loss against Gosport Borough was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wimborne Town playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 Wimborne Town wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Wimborne Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Southern game at Hayes & Yeading United is waiting in only four days.
Wimborne Town are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 9 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Wimborne Town have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
