Gloucester City hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 26 points and a 20th position in the Vanarama National League North table. Visiting Southport holds 12th place with 37 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Gloucester City form and stats
5-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League North numbers at home for Gloucester City so far this season.
The fans are hoping that Gloucester City will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Vanarama National League North game against Guiseley (placed 6th). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Darlington.
The manager J. Rowe will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Alfreton Town in only three days.
The Gloucester City fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 11 league matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
Southport form and stats
4 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. That’s the product of Southport playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League North this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Southport who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Blyth Spartans was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Southport have lost on their last two travels.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Vanarama National League North home defeat versus Boston United with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Southport manager L. Watson faced defeat when travelling to Fylde and losing 1-4.
Southport are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 12 games (in the league). 16 goals have been conceded by Southport in these games.
