An important duel in the bottom section of the Vanarama National League North, with both Gloucester City and Blyth Spartans experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 21st place.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Gloucester City form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Gloucester City have to build on here at The Spiers & Hartwell Jubilee Stadium in the Vanarama National League North.

Gloucester City's previous game was a Vanarama National League North match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Farsley Celtic (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. 1-1 away at Kettering Town before that.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Gloucester City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn zero and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Gloucester City as they have a new game in only two days, a Vanarama National League North match thankfully also at home. King's Lynn Town are visiting.

The Gloucester City fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 14 league matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Blyth Spartans form and stats

Blyth Spartans have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Vanarama National League North, after 3-2-12 (17 played). Blyth Spartans are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 9 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Curzon Ashton game.) A depressing five defeats in a row for Blyth Spartans in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Kidderminster Harriers.

Blyth Spartans are travelling again after losing away to Brackley Town in their previous match (2-5). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Farsley Celtic wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Brackley Town was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Blyth Spartans when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning one game.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Blyth Spartans as they have only managed to score 16 times from 17 away games in the league. The Blyth Spartans manager M. Nelson has some worries about the defense as 41 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Blyth Spartans - Gloucester City 1-2, played this season. Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: six - zero - one (Gloucester City wins - draws - Blyth Spartans wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
