Brackley Town form and stats

When playing at home in the Vanarama National League North, Brackley Town have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 5 games.

An away draw last time out for Brackley, facing Darlington in a game that ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against Darlington as Brackley Town were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Sukar popped out and made it level in the 89th minute.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Fylde that ended 1-1.

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 Brackley have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 3.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Boston United are coming to town in three days.

The Brackley Town fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches.

Buxton form and stats

1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Buxton playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League North this season.

The fans enjoyed Buxton's previous match versus Hyde United, a FA Cup win (2-1) played at home. Hooray; their first win in the league after eight games not winning.

Preceding that game was the away Vanarama National League North victory against Spennymoor Town with the score of 1-0.

Buxton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

After this away game Buxton return home for a Vanarama National League North game against Darlington. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Buxton as they have only managed to score 3 times from 5 away games in the league. Buxton have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
