King's Lynn Town form and stats

With 1 Vanarama National League North win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, King's Lynn Town are certainly not brimming with confidence. The King's manager Lakeland might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

King's Lynn Town lost their last game at South Shields (placed 2nd) after a 0-2 scoreline. The penalty miss from André in the defeat against South Shields was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

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 King's Lynn Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Blyth Spartans are coming to town in four days.
