Overview
The U's and The Shots are set to play out a typically tight affair when they meet in the National League 2026/2027 at VBS Community Stadium in England on Wednesday. Chris Agutter has overseen a relatively good start to the campaign since taking over as manager on 3 October 2025, but Sutton United FC have lost form in recent weeks, winning 1, tying 1 and losing 3 of their last 5.
Table and recent results
The U's sit 14th in the National League 2026/2027 table with 18 points from 14, the same as 12th-placed Aldershot Town FC who are 18 points from 13. Aldershot Town FC have had a mixed run of results of late with 1 win, 1 tie and 3 defeats from their last 5, although 2 of these games were in FA Cup Qualification 2026.
Sutton United FC's most recent outing was a 3-1 away loss to Harrogate Town in the National League 2026/2027, while Aldershot Town FC lost 3-1 away to Altrincham in the National League 2026/2027 last time out. Sutton United FC have won 3, tied 1 and lost 3 of their 7 home matches in the National League 2026/2027 to date, scoring just 8 goals in this period.
Stalemate could be a good bet with the odds-against
Aldershot Town FC have won 2, tied 2 and lost 3 of their 7 National League 2026/2027 matches on the road so far, but they are generally the more positive side, while their adventurous full-backs can leave the odd gap for The U's to attack on the counterattack.
Sutton United FC have not won either of their last 2 meetings at home to Aldershot Town FC and this looks like another tricky fixture for Agutter's men. However, this could be a clash of styles that suits the goals markets more than the result markets.
Scott Davies has done a great job since he took the reins of Aldershot Town FC on 1 July 2026 and the team are full of pace and positivity in a fluid 4-3-3 system that plays on width, presses hard and plays at a high tempo.
Key players and threats
Sutton United FC are a much more cautious outfit and will most likely sit deep and counterattack against the visitors. They are not a possession side and prefer to nick turnovers and exploit the pace of their attacking players to make the most of their chances.
- Tristan Abrahams is their main danger-man with 5 goals in 10 National League 2026/2027 appearances and looks the best bet to open this game up if anyone can.
- Temi Babalola is their top scorer in the National League 2026/2027 with 3 in 11 and the pacey forward looks the sharpest they have on the break.
Follow the head-to-head record
The head-to-head between these two sides points towards parity, with The U's and The Shots drawing their last 4 National League meetings, the most recent of which finished 2-2 in National League 2025/2026.
The draw at 3.7 looks like the way to go here with both teams to score – yes at 1.64 and over 2.5 goals at 1.67.
