York City form and stats

The story so far in the National League for York City at their home stadium (Bradley Community Stadium) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats. When York City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Gateshead, Scunthorpe United, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers, Oldham Athletic, York City and Maidstone United), they have won 2 of 4 matches!

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Boreham Wood last time out and are looking for a win here.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Wealdstone (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with York City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with York City as a small favourite), we find 5 games. York has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.

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

York City has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. On the other hand, York City have conceded 23 goals.

Yeovil Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Yeovil Town's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the National League. Yeovil Town only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 7 draws.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Yeovil Town, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Maidenhead United (placed 16th).

A loss against Notts County was the result prior to that, in a home game.

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 13 relevant matches. Results were 2 Yeovil wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats.

A tale of few goals? 17 of this side's most recent 21 league fixtures have seen two or less goals.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Altrincham in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Yeovil Town as they have only managed to score 10 times from 14 away games in the league. 18 goals have been conceded by Yeovil Town in these games.

Head 2 Head

The fixture lists shows this result when the teams faced each other earlier this season; Yeovil Town - York 0-1. As for the last three games between these two teams, there's two York City victories, zero draws and one Yeovil Town win. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
