Dorking Wanderers form and stats

Dorking Wanderers have played 22 National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 11-4-7 (wins-draws-losses). When Dorking Wanderers hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Aldershot Town, Maidenhead United, Yeovil Town, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers, York City and Maidstone United), they have won 4 of 6 matches!

The Wanderers coach White and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Wealdstone (placed 13th).

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Gateshead the opponent.

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 Dorking Wanderers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.

The Dorking Wanderers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 38 goals in 22 league matches. Wanderers have conceded 41 from these games.

Scunthorpe United form and stats

Scunthorpe United have only collected 10 points from their away games in the National League, after 1-7-14 (22 played). With the Scunthorpe United losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Southend United with 1-3 on the scoreboard.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Aldershot Town wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Scunthorpe United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 1 victory, 5 draws and 7 defeats.

The attacking power of Scunthorpe when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 22 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Scunthorpe United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 42 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
