Weymouth form and stats

Weymouth's struggle is real here at Bob Lucas Stadium with only 14 points collected from 15 National League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-2-9.

The home team returns to Bob Lucas Stadium after being equal after 90 minutes with Dagenham & Redbridge (placed 16th) on their last time out; the National League game ended 1-1. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Wrexham.

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 Weymouth have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Weymouth as they have a new game in only three days, a National League match thankfully also at home. Boreham Wood are visiting.

Weymouth are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 15 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 26 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Wealdstone form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Wealdstone so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). Wealdstone has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The manager D. Brennan was unhappy after their last game, a National League match played at their home ground Grosvenor Vale. Wealdstone suffered a 0-1 loss to Notts County (placed 7th). That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus King's Lynn Town.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wealdstone playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Wealdstone wins, one draw and three defeats.

A new game in only three days for Wealdstone, the National League home match versus Woking. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Wealdstone have conceded 28 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Wealdstone - Weymouth 2-1. Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Weymouth, zero draws and two wins for Wealdstone. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: zero games.
