Match Preview | Curzon Ashton (A)



By Noah Woodland


Gloucester City face a 142 mile trip to Curzon Ashton, where they will look to make it two wins from two after the stunning 5-1 win over Bradford Park Avenue.


FORM

The Tigers are currently sitting in 9th place and have only lost one game in their last seven, winning two, drawing four and losing one, with the previous game being a 5-1 home win over Bradford PA after two Dom McHale goals

sent his side on their way to secure the three points.


Curzon Ashton are currently placed in 16th and are also off the back of three points, after a 2-1 away victory versus Alfreton Town last weekend. However, The Nash find themselves only six points away from the relegation zone, although only playing 28 games.
