History of the Altrincham v York City fixture

Altrincham prepare to entertain York City at Moss Lane on Tuesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Moss Lane was just last season, in January 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Altrincham's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Robins have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

York City's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Minstermen's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Altrincham see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 36 points from their 27 games played so far, York City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 32 points from their 29 matches.

Its been a distinctly poor show from Altrincham at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Robins will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
