Truro City form and stats

With seven home games in a row without a win, the Truro City fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Oxford City game long ago, can be stopped today.

The points were shared in Truro City's previous game, also at home. Visiting Dorchester Town travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory match versus Metropolitan Police FC with a 2-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Truro City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Last season, Truro City's league statistics were 9 wins, 12 draws and 21 losses, resulting in a 20th position in the Vanarama National League South. Over these 42 matches they scored 63 goals and conceded 87. Playing at home last season Truro City managed 5-4-12 (win-draw-lost) with 30 goals and 43 conceded.
