Recent respective form guides

York City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Minstermen have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Stevenage B.'s away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Boro, and 1 goals against.

York City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 8 matches. Stevenage B. are leading the way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, with their 8 games giving them a return of 19 points.
