Weymouth's struggle is real here at Bob Lucas Stadium with only 16 points collected from 20 National League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-7-10. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in twelve attempts.

Weymouth suffered a slightly shocking defeat 1-6 against Wrexham in their previous outing, also a home game. Weymouth were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Prior to that, an away loss at Notts County.
