Venue: The Laithwaite Community Stadium (6036 seats)

Season ticket holders at The Laithwaite Community Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Woking languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Chesterfield will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Woking have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Relegation threatens Woking who should definitely be looking for some points here. Chesterfield are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Woking form and stats

The story so far in the National League for Woking at their home stadium (The Laithwaite Community Stadium) is 5 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats. 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 ten attempts. With seven home National League games in a row without a win, the Woking fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the King's Lynn Town game long ago, can be stopped today.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Weymouth (2-4).

The manager A. Dowson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sutton United in only three days.

Woking are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 19 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Woking have conceded 28 goals.
