After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Braintree Town and Hungerford Town in this fresh Vanarama National League South season. Read our match preview!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Braintree Town form and stats
Three Vanarama National League South home games done for Braintree Town, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Braintree with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Ebbsfleet United game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Three consecutive losses here at Ironmongery Direct Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
The Braintree Town fans got no joy from their last match, a Vanarama National League South game also here at Ironmongery Direct Stadium: A 3-4 defeat against Hemel Hempstead Town (placed 16th). Before that game, the home loss against Dorking Wanderers with the scoreline 0-4.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Braintree Town are traveling soon after this match as the Vanarama National League South match at St Albans City awaits in three days.
Braintree Town are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Braintree have let the opposition score 11 times, an average of more than three per game.
Hungerford Town form and stats
Hungerford Town, who have the most clean sheets (4) in Vanarama National League South, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Vanarama National League South, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Impressive finishing from R. Seager (2) secured the home win 2-0 against Dorking Wanderers in their previous game. A 2-3 defeat away at Ebbsfleet United before that.
A heroic performance from Hungerford Town in their game against Dorking Wanderers last time out. Things got complicated when M. Partridge was sent off in the 28th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-0 victory!
A quick return to home after this game, as Hungerford are hosting Hampton & Richmond in the Vanarama National League South only three days away.
4 goals so far away for Hungerford Town, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
