Boston United form and stats

There's been little loot from Boston United's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Boston United only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. Bitter travels for Boston as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Peterborough Sports match.

Boston United delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Gloucester City (placed 8th) in their previous match.

Prior to that match, the Boston United manager Culverhouse faced defeat when travelling to King's Lynn Town and losing 1-2.

Boston are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

Observe that 8 of this side's 10 most recent league rounds have ended with three or more goals.

Boston United are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 12 games (in the league). Boston United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Chorley have put together a sequence of 6 consecutive games without losing (4-2-0) when facing Boston United.

The last head-to-head game ended Boston United - Chorley 1-4, earlier this season.
