Farnborough form and stats

3-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Farnborough in their Vanarama National League South matches away.

Farnborough play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Welling United (placed 13th). Late drama in the previous game, when Pendlebury scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Welling United.

A draw for Farnborough before that, at their own venue hosting Hampton & Richmond (2-2).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Farnborough in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Farnborough, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
