Competition: England Vanarama National League North
Competition: Tue 25.February
Match begins: 19:45 (UTC)
Venue: Latimer Park

The visiting Brackley Town side should be favourites in this visit to Kettering Town, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 30 league games this season.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Vanarama National League North game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Chester. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Kettering Town form and stats

4 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Kettering Town have to build on here at Latimer Park in the Vanarama National League North.

The home team returns to Latimer Park after being equal after 90 minutes with Altrincham (placed 6th) on their last time out; the Vanarama National League North game ended 1-1. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Curzon Ashton.

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

Brackley Town form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the the best goal difference (+31) in Vanarama National League North, on their Vanarama National League North travels is 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

It's the second away game in a row for Brackley Town, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Chester (placed 4th) in the Vanarama National League North last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Southport.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Brackley Town manager K. Wilkin as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Darlington.

The travelling fans enjoy Brackley Town's attacking play in away games, having scored 23 goals in 15 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (13 so far).
