Gloucester City form and stats

In the previous season, Gloucester City's league stats were 10 wins, 16 draws and 16 losses, providing 17th place in the Vanarama National League North. Over these 42 matches they scored 47 goals and conceded 60. Playing at home in the last season Gloucester City generated 6-9-6 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 24 conceded.

No payout for Gloucester in their previous match, an away game at Darlington that ended in defeat 1-3. The first defeat after going undefeated through three league fixtures.

In the match before that, Gloucester City hosted Blyth Spartans and drew the game 2-2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Vanarama National League North game versus Peterborough Sports in only three days. This game is also played here at New Meadow Park.

Boston United form and stats

Let's have a look at how Boston United performed last season in the Vanarama National League North: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 18 victories, 9 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 63 and conceded 57 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 4 and lost 9 with 24/29 goals scored/conceded.

Boston might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Southport proved too strong as Boston United slumped to a 3-5 defeat in front of their own fans at The Jakemans Stadium. Until that defeat this club had taken at least a draw from six league rounds in a row. A bizarre fixture with an abundance of goals last time out for Boston United, as mentioned above. 8 goals in total, will this game be as full of joy?

Preceding that game was the away victory against Farsley Celtic with the score of 2-0.

Boston United have another match away in just three sleeps, a Vanarama National League North game versus Banbury United. A difficult programme for the visitors!

Head 2 Head

Gloucester City have pulled off a sequence of 7 consecutive matches without defeat (3-4-0) when playing Boston United.
