Peterborough Sports form and stats

Peterborough Sports have performed here at Lincoln Road this season with 4 wins from 6 Vanarama National League North matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 1. There’s a good atmosphere here at Lincoln Road after three straight home wins.

The Peterborough Sports regulars got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup duel also played here at Lincoln Road: A 0-1 defeat against Curzon Ashton.

Preceding that match, a home victory hosting Wellingborough Town in the Northamptonshire Senior Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Peterborough Sports perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Peterborough Sports as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Peterborough Sports has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Goal party? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league games with this club has had three goals or more.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Curzon Ashton are coming to town in three days.

Peterborough Sports can score goals in their home matches. After 6 league matches they have found the net 15 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

Chorley form and stats

Playing away, Chorley have won 2 games, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the Vanarama National League North this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Chorley are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Chorley go into this game after a win, the home game against Leamington that ended 1-0.

Previously, the Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy win away at Fylde. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 17 similar matches played by Chorley in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Chorley, 6 draws and 6 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Chorley manager Preece as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Kidderminster Harriers.

Chorley has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 8 goals from 5 games. Chorley have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
