Woking form and stats

When playing at home in the Vanarama National League, Woking have managed 5 wins, 5 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games. Two home wins in a row for Woking bring valid hopes of a third.

In their previous game, the manager A. Dowson led his Woking to a defeat in the Fa Trophy match away at Kingstonian. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kingfield Stadium. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Hartlepool United.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Woking handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The win/draw/lost stats in these games are W2-D1-L1.

There will be little rest for Woking after this match as they are travelling to Torquay United for a Vanarama National League game in only two days.

The Woking fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.

Sutton United form and stats

4 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Sutton United playing as the away team in the Vanarama National League this season. Two points from the last two away games for Sutton United, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

The supporters enjoyed Sutton United's previous game versus Wrexham (placed 21st), a Vanarama National League 3-1 win played at home. A 2-3 defeat away at Dagenham & Redbridge before that.

It's hard not to mention Omar Bugiel's lethal finishing against Wrexham. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.

Sutton United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 4 draws and 4 defeats. From a total of nine matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Sutton United are hosting Yeovil Town in the Vanarama National League only two days away.
