Kettering Town form and stats

Kettering faced defeat in their previous match, away at Gloucester City (1-3). Ahead of that match, Kettering won a home game hosting Chelmsford City (2-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Kettering Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kettering as a small favourite), we find six games. Kettering Town has won four of these, drawn zero and lost two.

The manager P. Cox will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Brackley Town in only three days.

Last season, Kettering Town's league statistics were 7 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses, resulting in a 20th position in the Vanarama National League North. Over these 31 matches they scored 36 goals and conceded 46. Playing at home last season Kettering Town managed 4-6-5 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 21 conceded.
