Guiseley form and stats

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Guiseley have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Guiseley as they are travelling to their away game against Boston United in the Vanarama National League North. That match is four days after this one.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Guiseley friendly games in pre-season: Guiseley played four friendlies, won 1, drew 1 and lost 2. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Guiseley scored 4 goals and conceded 8 in these four games.

Last season, Guiseley's league statistics were 14 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, resulting in a 9th position in the Vanarama National League North. Over these 33 matches they scored 52 goals and conceded 41. Playing at home last season Guiseley managed 7-3-7 (win-draw-lost) with 26 goals and 20 conceded.
