Torquay United form and stats

Torquay United have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Vanarama National League South. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

No payout for Torquay United in their previous match, an away game at Aveley that ended in defeat 1-2. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten through four league games.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Braintree Town.

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 Torquay have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 4 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Chelmsford City are coming to town in four days.

The Torquay United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Farnborough form and stats

The Vanarama National League South season is young and Farnborough have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Farnborough won their last game, 3-1 versus Hampton & Richmond played at home.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Truro City wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Farnborough manager Day as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Braintree Town.

The attacking power of Farnborough when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. Farnborough's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 5 goals from these trips.
