Blyth Spartans form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blyth Spartans so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Blyth Spartans in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Buxton.

Blyth Spartans are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the fixture against AFC Telford United (placed 24th). That victory was so vital for this club, after a terrible sequence of ten league matches in a row not winning.

A draw for Spartans before that, at their own venue hosting Leamington (2-2).

We have checked recent matches where Blyth Spartans have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 1 victory, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Spartans now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Northumberland Senior Cup game at North Shields is waiting in only four days.

The attacking power of Blyth Spartans when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. For Spartans, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Boston United have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive matches without defeat (4-1-0) when facing Blyth Spartans.
