Boston United form and stats

Boston United must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Vanarama National League North games here at The Jakemans Stadium.

The followers are hoping that Boston United will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Bishop's Stortford (placed 16th).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Warrington Town in a game that was won 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Boston have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

There will be little rest for Boston United after this match as they are travelling to Darlington for a Vanarama National League North game in only three days.

A decent goal production from Boston United in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches.
