The Alfreton Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Alfreton Town defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Farsley Celtic form and stats

There's been little loot from Farsley Celtic's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 15 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Farsley Celtic only have 1 win to counter their 12 defeats and 2 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Farsley have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Hereford game.

Farsley Celtic's previous game was their home loss versus Spennymoor Town (1-2).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bradford Park Avenue wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Farsley Celtic have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were six victories, one draw and six defeats.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Farsley Celtic manager Wilcox has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.
