It's still early in the Vanarama National League South season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Dorking Wanderers - Bath City preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Dorking Wanderers form and stats
The hosts won their first Vanarama National League South game here at Westhumble Playing Fields, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Dorking Wanderers last season were 9 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses from 18 games.
It's back home for Dorking Wanderers, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Dartford away with the result 3-2. Prior to that, an away loss at Hungerford Town.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Vanarama National League South game versus Tonbridge Angels in only four days. This game is also played here at Westhumble Playing Fields.
Early season league goal statistics from Dorking Wanderers's 1 home game: 3 goals, 1 conceded.
Bath City form and stats
It's not happening yet for Bath City on their Vanarama National League South travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Recent form does not give Bath much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Dorking Wanderers will be a tough nut to crack. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on J. Gill, the Bath manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Bath might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hemel Hempstead Town proved too strong as Bath City slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Twerton Park Stadium. A 1-2 defeat away at Slough Town before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Bath City manager J. Gill as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Concord Rangers.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Bath's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bath City have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
Head 2 Head
Last three meetings between the teams: Wanderers won one, Bath City won one and one draw. one game with over 2,5 goals, two matches with two goals or less.Dorking Wanderers missing players
