Competition: England Non League Premier: Southern
Competition: Tue 10.March
Match begins: 19:45 (UTC)
Venue: Huish Park Stadium (3500 seats)

Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Weston-super-Mare in 10th and Merthyr Town in 13th place.

Merthyr Town could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Non League Premier: Southern game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Salisbury, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Merthyr Town.

0-0-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Merthyr Town when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those two matches are 3-5 (scored/conceded).

Weston-super-Mare form and stats

Overall Non League Premier: Southern stats at home this season for Weston-super-Mare are 7-4-3 (wins-draw-losses). Two home wins in a row for Weston-super-Mare bring valid hopes of a third.

A strong away win for Weston-super-Mare against Dorchester Town the last match. Before that, Weston-super-Mare had a home game versus Wimborne Town which ended with a victory 5-0.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Weston-super-Mare's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn zero and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Yate Town are coming to town in four days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (31 in 14 games), Weston-super-Mare's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 22 goals have been conceded.

Merthyr Town form and stats

Merthyr Town have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Non League Premier: Southern, after 1-7-7 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Merthyr Town have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Metropolitan Police FC game.

Merthyr Town lost away at Salisbury (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Beaconsfield Town.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Merthyr Town when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing two and winning one game.

The schedule is very tough for Merthyr Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Southern game at Taunton Town is waiting in only four days.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Merthyr Town have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Merthyr Town - Weston-super-Mare 1-1. As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Weston-super-Mare victory, one draw and zero Merthyr Town wins.
