Game week two of the Vanarama National League South campaign and the sides have learned from the first game. Here's the best Torquay United - Worthing guide:

Torquay United and Worthing should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Torquay United form and stats

The previous season, Torquay United's league statistics were 12 wins, 12 draws and 22 losses, producing 21st position in the National League. In these 46 matches they scored {58 goals} and gave away 80. Performing at their own stadium in the last season Torquay United managed 6-7-10 (win-draw-lost) with {36 goals} and 41 conceded.

Torquay drew their last game, 2-2 away at Dover Athletic (placed 14th). Opportunity lost for Torquay United in the Dover Athletic match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

In the match before that, Torquay United hosted Wrexham and drew the National League game 1-1.

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 Torquay United have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Torquay, as the Vanarama National League South home game vs Chippenham Town is only three days away.

Worthing form and stats

Let's have a look at how Worthing performed last season in the Vanarama National League South: They landed a 4th position in the league table after playing out 22 victories, 12 draws and 12 defeats. In total they scored 92 and conceded {72 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 10 - drew 7 and lost 6 with 38/31 goals scored/conceded.

The regulars enjoyed Worthing's previous match versus Tonbridge Angels (placed 21st), a 1-0 win played at home. The end of the last match, against Tonbridge Angels, was very satisfying as Wheeler scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Oxford City wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Worthing are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

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 Slough Town.
