Kidderminster have been far steadier in the same period: nine wins, seven draws and only four defeats, with 30 scored and 15 conceded. They've drawn a fair few recently, including back-to-back goalless and 1-1 results, but they haven't been losing games.

Kidderminster's underlying numbers look considerably healthier than Boston's right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Boston United vs Kidderminster Harriers

A long history, but an old one

These two have met nine times on record, stretching back to 2017, mostly in National League North and FA Trophy ties rather than the National League itself. Results have gone both ways, including a 4-1 and a 3-1 away win at various points, plus a couple of draws.

The most recent meeting was a goalless draw back in March 2023. Given how much time has passed and the different competition level for several of those games, this history says little about the sides as they stand now.

Where they sit in the table

Kidderminster Harriers are 11th with 20 points from 13 games, built on five wins, five draws and three losses. Boston United are down in 21st with just 12 points from the same number of matches, having won three, drawn three and lost seven.

Boston have also conceded 23 goals in the league table figures against Kidderminster's 12, which fits with the defensive struggles shown in their recent form.

What the goal patterns suggest

Boston's home form data shows games with goals at both ends, including a 4-2 win and several matches where they've shipped three or more. That suggests their matches rarely stay quiet, even when they're losing.

Kidderminster's away sample has included plenty of low-scoring draws lately, 0-0 and 1-1 results in their last two league outings, after a spell of more open wins and losses earlier in the autumn. Their overall away goals tally still sits well ahead of what they've conceded.
