This match features two teams living in the basement of the Non League Premier: Southern, Needham Market holding 15th place and Stratford Town lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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.
Needham Market form and stats
Needham Market's struggle is real here at Bloomfields with only 12 points collected from 12 Non League Premier: Southern games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-6-4.
The fans are hoping that Needham Market will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Non League Premier: Southern game against Leiston (placed 18th). In the match before that, Needham Market hosted St Ives Town and drew the game 1-1.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Needham Market matches with similar probabilities have ended with 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from one game).

Stratford Town form and stats
Stratford Town have only collected 2 points from their away games in the Non League Premier: Southern, after 0-2-8 (10 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row. It's looking increasingly bleak for Stratford Town who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. St Ives Town was the last time a defeat was avoided.
The manager T. Baillie was unhappy after their last game, a Non League Premier: Southern match played at their home ground The Arden Garages Stadium. Stratford Town suffered a 1-2 loss to Rushall Olympic (placed 7th). Preceding that game, the 0-5 loss visiting Banbury United's place.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Stratford Town when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing 2 times, drawing 1 and winning 0 games.
The attacking power of Stratford Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 10 league matches away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Stratford Town concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
