Merthyr Town form and stats

Merthyr Town have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Non League Premier: Southern, after 1-7-6 (14 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Merthyr Town have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Metropolitan Police FC game. With three draws in a row for Merthyr Town the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

The attacking players of Merthyr Town have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 300 minutes. 277 minutes! That's how long the Merthyr Town goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Merthyr Town's last game was the home draw against Beaconsfield Town (0-0). A 0-0 draw at Wimborne Town's stadium before that.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Non League Premier: Southern trip to Weston-super-Mare.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Merthyr Town as they have only managed to score 9 times from 14 away games in the league. Merthyr Town have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Merthyr Town - Salisbury 1-1 entered in the official records. H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Salisbury two wins, one draw and Merthyr Town zero victories.
