Yeovil Town form and stats

6-5-7 (win-draw-lost) are the National League numbers at home for Yeovil Town so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Yeovil bring valid hopes of a third.

Yeovil Town travelled for their previous game, a trip to King's Lynn Town that ended 2-2. Wakefield was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against King's Lynn Town after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Preceding that game was the away draw at Barnet that finished 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Yeovil Town have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Yeovil Town as they are travelling to their away game against Weymouth in the National League. That match is three days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Yeovil here at Huish Park Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 18 games). Yeovil Town's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 20 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Aldershot Town form and stats

The visitors are W6-D2-L9 on the road this term. That's in the National League. A depressing four defeats in a row for Aldershot Town in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Weymouth.

Impressive finishing from Berkeley-Agyepong and Ndjoli secured the home win 2-1 against Boreham Wood in their previous game.

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

We have checked recent matches where Aldershot have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were three victories, three draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Aldershot Town are hosting Dagenham & Redbridge in the National League only three days away.

Aldershot Town find the net regularly in their away games. 20 goals from 17 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Aldershot's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 27 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the sides played each other earlier this season; Aldershot Town - Yeovil Town 1-2. Head to head numbers (for the prior five meetings): Yeovil Town won three games, one match ended with a tie and Aldershot Town managed one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / one The matches between these clubs have sometimes been a bit wild, having seen 3 sending-offs from the last five encounters.
