Aldershot Town form and stats

It's not happening yet for Aldershot Town on their National League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's looking increasingly bleak for Aldershot who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Chesterfield was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Home advantage was not enough for Aldershot in their previous game, as they lost their National League-match, hosting Solihull Moors, 1-2.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Notts County wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Aldershot have another game away from home in just four nights, a National League match versus Wealdstone. A grim fixture list for the visitors!

It's early days yet, but Aldershot Town has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the previous six meetings featuring these two squads are: one win for Southend, one draw and four wins for Aldershot Town. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: five games.
