Torquay United form and stats

The story so far in the National League for Torquay United at their home stadium (Plainmoor Ground) is 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. The home fans are hungry for more even though Torquay have been steadily collecting points here at Plainmoor Ground through three straight draws.

Torquay United lost their last game at Halifax Town (placed 3rd) after a 0-2 scoreline.

In the game before, an away victory match versus King's Lynn Town with a 3-2 scoreline.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Torquay's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won one match, drawn three and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Torquay United as they have a new game in only four days, a National League match thankfully also at home. Weymouth are visiting.

Aldershot Town form and stats

Playing away, Aldershot Town have won 6 games, drawn 2 and suffered 7 defeats in the National League this season. It's a growing despair in Aldershot Town as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

The attacking players of Aldershot Town have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.

Aldershot Town might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. King's Lynn Town proved too strong as Aldershot slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Electrical Services Stadium.

A loss against Stockport County was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Aldershot Town playing away, we found eight games. Results were one away win, zero draws and seven home wins.

Aldershot Town have another fixture away in just four nights, a National League fixture against Altrincham. A rough schedule for them!

Aldershot are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 20 away goals from 15 games (in the league). Aldershot Town have conceded 22 goals in these away matches. More than 30 percent, thus 10 goals, were conceded after more than 3/4 of the match had been played (80+ minutes).
