Match preview

Stamford travel to Shropshire for their second away game on the bounce as they take on 18th place Market Drayton.

Drayton who have gained 23 point so far this season compared to 29 from the Daniels meaning they lie two places higher in 16th place. Last time out Stamford picked up three points away to Belper with goals coming from Jake Duffy and Delroy Gordon with both goals assisted by Jordan Smith.

Market Drayton come into the game in poor form having picked up just three points out of their last five games, having lost to Spalding, Basford, Leek and Shaw Lane with their win coming against Romulus. In the games that they have lost they have score just two goals. In the one win they have picked up in the last five they beat Romulus 4-2 the reverse of the Stamford result recently in a 4-2 loss.

Stamford could move up to 13th with a win, relying on results elsewhere and a large goal difference swing. On the topic of goal difference Market Drayton have a -20 goal difference giving them the third worst in the division. This is due to another unwanted record which is having the third worst defence, in terms of goals conceded in the league at 51 in 25 games. Despite not having the best league record Market Drayton have managed to get to the TJ Vickers cup Semi Final this season where they play Whitchurch Alport.
