Sutton United form and stats

Sutton United's struggle is real here at The Borough Sports Ground with only 7 points collected from 9 Vanarama National League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-4.

Sutton United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Ebbsfleet United (placed 23rd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Billericay Town (2-5).

This is expected to be a close game, with Sutton United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sutton United as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Sutton United has won 5 of these, drawn 4 and lost 3.

Sutton United are traveling soon after this match as the Vanarama National League match at Barrow awaits in four days.

Sutton United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.

Halifax Town form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Vanarama National League travels is 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

Two away games in a row for Halifax Town, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-5 versus Bromley in the Vanarama National League. A loss against Harrogate Town was the result prior to that, in a FA Cup home game.

Halifax Town lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Halifax Town playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 2 Halifax Town wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

After this away game Halifax Town return home for a Vanarama National League game against Torquay United. That game is only four sleeps after this.
