The National League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Aldershot Town and Torquay United are placed 14th and 2nd respectively.
It's no vacation for neither Aldershot nor Torquay United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Aldershot Town form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first National League game of the season here at Electrical Services Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses from Aldershot Town's 19 home games.
The Aldershot fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at Electrical Services Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Woking (placed 4th). A 2-2 draw away in the National League before that, with Eastleigh the opponent.
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 eleven matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost four.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National League game versus Notts County in only four days. This game is also played here at Electrical Services Stadium.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Aldershot Town at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Torquay United form and stats
Torquay United are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the National League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Before that, Torquay secured a home win against Dover Athletic with the score 2-0.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Torquay United in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Torquay United, three draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Torquay United manager G. Johnson as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Hartlepool United.
It's early days yet, but Torquay United has scored 3 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Aldershot Town, four draws and two wins for Torquay United. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: eight games.Aldershot Town missing players
