Torquay United form and stats

Torquay United have played 12 Vanarama National League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-1-5 (wins-draws-losses). It's trouble wherever Torquay United are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Torquay United, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Torquay United's previous game was a Fa Trophy match also played at home, ending 5-1 versus Aldershot Town (placed 20th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Harrogate Town in the Vanarama National League.

As mentioned above, Torquay United "killed" Aldershot Town in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
