Kettering Tn. prepare to entertain Rushden & Diamonds at Rockingham Road Ground on Tuesday evening, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Half of the previous meetings have ended in defeat for Poppies.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rockingham Road Ground was just last season, in August 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a (Conference) Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Kettering Town's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.
Rushden & D.'s away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 8 goals for the Diamonds, and 1 goals against.
