Bedford vs BuxtonPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Bedford Town began the season with a narrow 0-1 defeat on the road and no goal to show for it: twentieth place, nothing on the board. Buxton, by contrast, won their opening home fixture 2-1 and moved up to sixth with three points, two scored and one conceded. Bedford still have to open both their points account and their scoring column, while Buxton banked the maximum straight away. National League North is ticking along at a modest 2.25 goals per game, and those two opening fixtures produced four goals between them. With a single round played the standings mean little: the way Buxton found their win and the trouble Bedford had creating anything matter a good deal more. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
