Buxton form and stats

Buxton have collected 10 points from their Vanarama National League North home games so far after 2-4-2. When Buxton hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Chester, Brackley Town, King's Lynn Town, Chorley, Darlington, Southport and Fylde), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

The Buxton fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at The Silverlands: A 0-4 defeat against Banbury United (placed 9th). The first loss after going undefeated through three league matches. As you see from the result above, Buxton suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

In the preceding match a 1-0 victory visiting Gloucester City.

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 9 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Buxton are traveling soon after this match as the Fa Trophy match at Blyth Spartans awaits in four days.

11 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Scarborough Athletic form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Vanarama National League North travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.

Two travels in a row for Scarborough, whose manager Greening could celebrate last time after the win against Gloucester City.

A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting King's Lynn Town.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Scarborough Athletic playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 5 Scarborough Athletic wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

Will both teams score? This side's fresh fixtures suggest that, having played 5 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each side.

The schedule is very tough for Scarborough Athletic now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Fa Trophy game at Marine is waiting in only four days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Scarborough have scored 13 goals in 9 league games away. In the opposite end, Scarborough Athletic have conceded 14 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
