6th position in the Vanarama National League North table for Brackley Town so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 12th-placed Southport visits St. James' Park.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

The story so far in the Vanarama National League North for Brackley Town, who have the the best goal difference (+30) in Vanarama National League North, at their home stadium (St. James' Park) is 7 wins, 6 draws and 1 defeat.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 389 minutes without scoring a league goal. J. Armson was the last player to find the net.

Southport form and stats
5 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Southport playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League North this season.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Hereford (placed 17th) in their previous outing. The Vanarama National League North match ended in a draw 2-2. Ahead of that game was the 3-3 draw at home against Bradford Park Avenue.
Drawing 2-2 against Hereford after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager L. Watson needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Southport when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Vanarama National League North trip to Leamington.
