Leiston form and stats

It's not happening yet for Leiston on their Non League Premier: Southern travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Leiston losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Leiston's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Two away games in a row for Leiston, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-3 versus Needham Market in the Non League Premier: Southern. A 1-2 loss hosting Tamworth before that.

Leiston are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. From a total of nine matches.

Leiston are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. There are big problems for the Leiston defense as they have conceded 14 goals in 3 away games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Needham Market - Leiston 3-0 earlier this season. Needham Market-Leiston H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Needham Market 1 win, Leiston 7 wins, 2 draws. 9 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
