It's the second window of opportunity for points this season as Buxton and Curzon Ashton bump heads at The Silverlands.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Buxton form and stats
The season before, Buxton's league statistics were 23 wins, 12 draws and 7 losses, resulting in 1st place in the Non League Premier: Northern. Over these 42 matches they scored 80 goals and gave away 38. Playing at home in the last season Buxton managed 14-5-2 (win-draw-lost) with 48 goals and 17 conceded.
An away draw last time out for Buxton, facing Peterborough Sports in a game that ended 1-1.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Stalybridge Celtic (0-1).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 Buxton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Buxton, as the Vanarama National League North home game vs Leamington is only three days away.
Curzon Ashton form and stats
Let's have a look at how Curzon Ashton performed last season in the Vanarama National League North: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 13 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 51 and conceded 63 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 6 and lost 9 with 27/36 goals scored/conceded.
This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Banbury United with 1-2 on the scoreboard. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league rounds winning points. Late heartbreak for Curzon Ashton in the Banbury United match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Kettering Town.Curzon are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of 10 matches.
The schedule is very tough for Curzon Ashton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League North game at Kidderminster Harriers is waiting in only three days.
Head 2 Head
Statistics for the former two meetings featuring these two contenders are: one win for Buxton, one draw and zero wins for Curzon Ashton. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
