The season has been demanding for Weymouth so far, while Braintree Town have done well. Will the visiting team triumph again at Bob Lucas Stadium?
- Weymouth have the the worst goal difference (-23) in Vanarama National League South
- Braintree Town have scored more than double the goals of Weymouth.
The hosts Weymouth saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Vanarama National League South. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at St Albans City.
Weymouth form and stats
With 0 Vanarama National League South wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, Weymouth are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Vanarama National League South games in a row without a win, the Weymouth fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.
Weymouth lost their last game at St Albans City (placed 5th) after a 2-3 scoreline.
A 1-1 result against AFC Wimbledon before that, played at their own home stadium in the FA Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Weymouth perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Weymouth as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Weymouth has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The manager Wilkinson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AFC Wimbledon in only three days.
Weymouth have scored {3 goals} here in 8 league matches, a depressing statistic. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. When Weymouth hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Hampton & Richmond, Chippenham Town, Hungerford Town, Taunton Town, Concord Rangers, Dulwich Hamlet and Cheshunt), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Braintree Town form and stats
The visitors are W4-D0-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Vanarama National League South.
There might be some fixture complaints from Braintree as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-4 against Dartford. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league matches winning points.
Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Hampton & Richmond.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Braintree Town playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 1 Braintree Town win, 1 draw and 5 defeats.
Goal hungry football fans should note that 9 of this side's 11 latest league rounds have ended with at least three goals.
After this away game Braintree Town return home for a Vanarama National League South game against Farnborough. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Braintree Town has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 17 goals from 9 games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: one - three - three (Weymouth wins - draws - Braintree Town wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
