Fylde form and stats

Fylde are steadily winning Vanarama National League North games and points here at Mill Farm Stadium. 13 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 19 games. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Fylde has won their last four matches.

Fylde are confident in defense, having played 321 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Fylde's last game was hosting Gloucester City (placed 8th) and winning 2-0.

Before that match, a win away at King's Lynn Town.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Brackley Town are coming to town in four days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (41 in 19 games), Fylde's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Fylde have conceded 21 goals.

Blyth Spartans form and stats

Blyth Spartans have only collected 18 points from their away games in the Vanarama National League North, after 5-3-11 (19 played).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, the home defeat versus Chester with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Ahead of that, the Northumberland Senior Cup victory away at Heaton Stannington.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Spartans manager Fenton as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Banbury United.

The attacking power of Blyth Spartans when travelling is not overwhelming with 18 goals scored from 19 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Blyth Spartans have conceded 33 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Fylde have avoided defeat in the last 8 games (6-2-0) versus Blyth Spartans.

Funnily enough, the last time Spartans kept a "clean sheet" was also against this opponent, five league games ago (Blyth Spartans - Fylde 0-0).
