Guiseley form and stats

With 3 wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Guiseley are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Guiseley who hasn’t won a game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against Bradford Park Avenue. Guiseley are slowly digging their own grave here at Nethermoor Park with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in eleven attempts. The last victory here came in the Cambridge United match.

Guiseley lost their last game at Hereford (placed 16th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Curzon Ashton (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Guiseley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Guiseley as a small favourite), we find six games. Guiseley has won 0 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3. The match schedule is unforgiving for Guiseley as they have a new game in only three days, a Vanarama National League North match thankfully also at home. York City are visiting.

Guiseley has scored 21 goals at home this season, in 17 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Guiseley defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 17 games.
