  • Peterborough Sports haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Vanarama National League North. That game was also an away game, at Scarborough Athletic. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Buxton form and stats

Buxton's results here at The Silverlands in the Vanarama National League North have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. Game days at The Silverlands have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Buxton as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Buxton crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 2-3 to Bradford Park Avenue here at The Silverlands. Heartbreak for Buxton in their last match as Bradford Park Avenue's Blyth scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Before that match, a defeat in the away fixture against Ipswich Town in the FA Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Buxton have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 4 and lost 1.

The manager Vermiglio will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Leamington in only three days.

With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Buxton defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
