Gloucester City form and stats

There's been little loot from Gloucester City's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the Vanarama National League North. Gloucester City only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. Gloucester have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.

This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Gloucester City goalkeeper Liam Armstrong is eager to challenge this, with his 190 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Spennymoor Town (placed 14th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 0-0.

A draw for Gloucester before that, at their own venue hosting Alfreton Town (0-0).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gloucester City playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Gloucester City win, two draws and three defeats.
