Leamington form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Leamington so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 0-10-4 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

Leamington has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to AFC Telford United for a 1-1 draw.

Before that, Leamington secured a home win against Darlington with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Leamington playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 2 home wins.

Leamington have another game away from home in just three days, a Vanarama National League North match against Banbury United. A hard timetable for the guests!

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Leamington as they have only managed to score 9 times from 14 away games in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by Leamington in these games.

Head 2 Head

Leamington - Scarborough Athletic 1-1 was the scoreline in these contenders' previous head-to-head fixture, earlier this season.
