Boston United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Boston United so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Boston United in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Peterborough Sports.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Boston United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Kettering Town (placed 20th). A huge disappointment for Boston in their last match (vs Kettering Town). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
