Match Preview

Tomorrow night Alvechurch are once again in league action taking on Stourbridge. Here is everything you need to know about the game.

How have both teams been playing?

Josh March's goal against Hitchin Town on Saturday earned Ian Long's men a point; and extended their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions. In that time Church have played great football; including blowing away Redditch United and Needham Market in their last two league games prior to the game against Hitchin. Having only lost once so far this season they have made a great start to life at step 3 and have yet to concede a league goal at Lye Meadow, so will be coming into the game full of confidence knowing that a win will put them into the play-off places.

Stourbridge meanwhile, currently occupy a play-off place; sitting fifth in the league after also only losing one game this season. The Glassboys are regulars at this level; and this has shown by them going unbeaten in their last four games, with Saturday's draw against St Ives Town ending a two game winning run. With Leon Broadhurst and Gregg Mills among the top goalscorers in the team, the visitors do have threats to the Alvechurch back-line.

What have the scores been in the previous meetings between the two sides?

These two sides met last season in the Integro League Cup; with Alvechurch winning the game 4-2. Goals from Tom Turton, Andy Parson's, Mitch Botfield, and former Church striker Nathan Waite, gave Alvechurch a 4-0 lead before two Luke Benbow goals reduced the deficit. As well as that they also met in a pre-season friendly last summer, with Alvechurch winning 2-1 thanks to two Turton penalties.
