Blyth Spartans form and stats

With 2 Vanarama National League North wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Blyth Spartans are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Spartans travelled for their previous game, a trip to Gloucester City that ended 2-2.

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Scarborough Athletic.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Blyth Spartans as they have a new game in only four days, a Vanarama National League North match thankfully also at home. Buxton are visiting.

Southport form and stats

Southport were so close to getting something from the game against Fylde, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

Prior to that match, the Southport manager Watson faced defeat when travelling to Peterborough Sports and losing 1-2.

Observe! Both teams have scored in 9 of this club's latest 11 league matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Vanarama National League North trip to AFC Telford United.
