Form Guide — Last 5
Stafford Rangers
Stafford Rangers have recorded two convincing victories in their last five league games, beatingوصل 3‑0 at Northampton and edging 3‑2 against Hereford, both at home. Those wins demonstrate a potent attack averaging three goals per game, reinforcing why the model expects them to convert their xG advantage into a win.
Halesowen Town
Halesowen Town’s recent form shows a 3‑1 win over Basford United and a 2‑0 victory over Mickleover Sports, both at home, highlighting their limited away threat – they have yet to score away this season. This dry spell aligns with the model’s low expected‑goals figure for them and underpins the expectation of a Rangers win.
