Taunton are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 225 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Foulston).

The spoils were shared in Taunton Town's previous game, also at home. Visiting Chelmsford City (placed 4th) travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline.

Before that match, a home win against Laverstock & Ford in the FA Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Taunton Town perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Bath City form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Bath City playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League South this season.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Oxford City (placed 13th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 3-3. As you can tell from the result, the match against Oxford City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Ahead of that, the FA Cup victory away at Hartley Wintney (after extra-time). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 12 similar matches played by Bath City in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Bath, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sevenoaks Town in just four days.

10 goals so far away for Bath City, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 10. All from 5 league matches away.
