Taunton Town form and stats

When playing at home in the Vanarama National League South, Taunton Town have managed 7 wins, 6 draws and suffered 8 defeats from 21 games.

Evans was the last player to score a league goal for Taunton Town and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Taunton Town haven't scored in 183 minutes.

The Taunton crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to Hungerford Town here at Cygnet Health Care Stadium.

Prior to that, an away loss at Dulwich Hamlet.

It should be considered that a glance at the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the sides scored a goal).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Weymouth are coming to town in three days.

22 goals have been conceded.

Worthing form and stats

The visitors are W9-D7-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Vanarama National League South. The fact that Worthing have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

Two trips in a row for Worthing, whose coach Hinshelwood could celebrate last time after the win against Farnborough.

Before that, Worthing secured a home win against Braintree Town with the score 2-1.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 13 of this club's 16 most recent league rounds have ended with three goals or more.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Worthing manager Hinshelwood as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Cheshunt.

Worthing has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 34 goals from 21 games. Worthing have conceded 28 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Worthing - Taunton 1-1 was the story when these teams formerly did battle, some time ago this season.
