Blyth Spartans form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blyth Spartans so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-9 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Blyth Spartans much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Chester will be a tough nut to crack. Blyth Spartans seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The manager L. Clark was unhappy after their last game, a Vanarama National League North match played at their home ground Croft Park. Blyth Spartans suffered a 0-1 loss to Boston United (placed 3rd). Prior to that match, the Blyth Spartans manager L. Clark faced defeat when travelling to AFC Telford United and losing 2-4.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Blyth Spartans as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. Blyth Spartans have conceded 32 goals in these games.
