It's early days in the Vanarama National League North and both Alfreton Town and Brackley Town are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
It's no vacation for neither Alfreton nor Brackley Town as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Alfreton Town form and stats
Alfreton Town have less points than they have played home games in the Vanarama National League North so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 2 points. Two draws in a row at home now for Alfreton Town.
The fans are hoping that Alfreton will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Vanarama National League North game against Bradford Park Avenue (placed 9th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Fylde.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Alfreton, as the Vanarama National League North home game vs Farsley Celtic is only four days away.
Alfreton Town has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Brackley Town form and stats
Still no away game victory in the Vanarama National League North for Brackley Town, who have the fewest scored goals (0) away in Vanarama National League North, with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.
Brackley's last game was the home draw against Bishop's Stortford (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) (3-3). Before that, Brackley secured a home win against Marske United with the score 5-1.
Drawing 3-3 against Bishop's Stortford (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager K. Wilkin needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Bishop's Stortford (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
It's early days yet, but Brackley Town has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
