Southport form and stats

Let's have a look at how Southport performed last season in the Vanarama National League North: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 11 draws and 22 defeats. In total they scored 50 and conceded {62 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 13 with 23/32 goals scored/conceded.

Southport failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Warrington Town (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-4. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Warrington Town was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leamington wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Southport are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Southport manager Watson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Spennymoor Town.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - three - three (Alfreton Town wins - draws - Southport wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
