Boston United form and stats

When playing at home in the Vanarama National League North, Boston United have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 16 games.

The fans are hoping that Boston will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Chester (placed 5th). Heartbreak for Boston United in their last match as Chester's Weeks scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Before that, Boston United had a home game versus Darlington which ended with a victory 3-1.

Lots of goals? We don't know the future, but we do know that 12 of the 15 latest league matches with this side has contained at least three goals.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Peterborough Sports are coming to town in four days.

Boston United have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at The Jakemans Stadium with 28 goals in 16 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Boston defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Boston United hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Buxton, AFC Telford United, Farsley Celtic, Blyth Spartans, Kettering Town, Leamington and Bradford Park Avenue), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 5 of 6 times.
