The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Woking are in the 9th position while the guesting Yeovil Town worry at 22nd.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Woking form and stats

Seven points from three National League home games is a great start for Woking, who are hoping to build on that form here at The Laithwaite Community Stadium.

In their previous game, the manager A. Dowson led his Woking to a defeat in the FA Cup match away at Gillingham. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The Laithwaite Community Stadium. Prior to that, an away loss at King's Lynn Town in the National League.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Gillingham) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.

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 Woking have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn five and lost four.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Woking as they are travelling to their away game against Dover Athletic in the National League. That match is three days after this one.

Woking are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Woking have only let in 1 goal at home.

Yeovil Town form and stats

Yeovil Town are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the National League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). It's three draws from Yeovil Town's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Yeovil play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Bromley (after extra-time) (placed 11th). Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Chesterfield.

G. Rogers came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Bromley (after extra-time) last time out, making the manager D. Sarll feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Bromley (after extra-time), was very satisfying as G. Rogers scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Yeovil Town playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Yeovil Town win, four draws and five defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Yeovil now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Weymouth is waiting in only three days.

Yeovil Town find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Yeovil have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings between these two teams are: one win for Woking, zero draws and one win for Yeovil Town. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
