Game week two of the National League season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Aldershot Town - Sutton United preview:

Sutton United play their home games on artifical turf, while this game is played on grass. Recent stats for Sutton United when playing on grass are 12 wins, 11 draws and 17 defeats from 40 matches. They have scored 39 goals and conceded 51 times in these games.

Aldershot Town form and stats

The fans are hoping that Aldershot will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the National League game against Hartlepool United (placed 4th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Fylde.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Aldershot have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost three.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Aldershot Town, as the National League home game vs Macclesfield Town is only four days away.

Last season, Aldershot Town's league statistics were 12 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses, resulting in a 16th position in the National League. Over these 39 matches they scored 43 goals and conceded 55. Playing at home last season Aldershot Town managed 7-6-6 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 25 conceded.

Sutton United form and stats

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The National League trip to Weymouth.
