Redditch United form and stats

Redditch United's results here at The Valley Stadium in the Non League Premier: Southern have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 9 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 19 attempts. With ten home games in a row without a win, the Redditch United fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Lowestoft Town game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Redditch United crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Rushall Olympic here at The Valley Stadium in a Non League Premier: Southern match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Royston Town (1-2).

Redditch United lost the game against Rushall Olympic in the first half with a 0-3 deficit and could never come back from that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Redditch United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Redditch United as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Redditch United has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 6.

Redditch United are traveling soon after this match as the Non League Premier: Southern match at Lowestoft Town awaits in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Redditch United here at The Valley Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 12 games). Redditch United have conceded 27 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Stratford Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Stratford Town's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 11 away games in the Non League Premier: Southern. Stratford Town only have 0 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row. Football is a nightmare at the moment for Stratford Town who have suffered through a seven match losing streak. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters.

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 Stourbridge (placed 13th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Needham Market wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Stratford Town playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were 3 Stratford Town wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Stratford Town manager T. Baillie as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

The attacking power of Stratford Town when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 11 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Stratford Town's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 30 goals in 11 travels.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last nine meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Redditch United, 2 draws and 5 wins for Stratford Town. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
