Recent form and head-to-head
Yeovil Town have made a solid start to the National League 2026-2027 campaign, sitting in seventh spot with 11 points from six games – the same number as visitors AFC Fylde, who occupy sixth. The Glovers have had the better of this fixture in recent years, winning the last two meetings between the sides, including a 1-0 home win 12 months ago.
Tactics and key players
In fact, Yeovil have made a more impressive start at home than they have on the road, going unbeaten in three at Huish Park this term, with two wins and a draw. Billy Rowley has Yeovil set up in an organized 4-2-3-1, with a compact shape that is difficult to get through in the centre of the park, but they also have a trick up their sleeve when it comes to breaking forward.
Luke McCormick is the club's main man with five goals in six games, and the fact that five of Yeovil's last 11 goals have been scored makes them more of a goal threat than some fifth-tier teams.
An open game could ensue
The hosts have won three, drawn one, and lost one of their last five fixtures, and that sequence has included a 2-1 away win at Barrow, a 3-2 win at home to Tamworth and a 3-2 defeat at Southend United.
- Fylde come to Huish Park off the back of a 3-1 away win at Solihull Moors and a 2-2 home draw with Worthing, so they have enough punch in the front two to trouble Yeovil.
- Craig Mahon's men have played an attack-minded style in the early-season fixtures, with the full-backs bombing on, and they have shown enough at both ends to suggest that this could be an end-to-end game.
- Fylde have taken two wins from three away games in the National League, but they have also conceded five goals on the road, and Yeovil will be confident that they can break through on Saturday.
Back goals and both teams to score
With Yeovil unbeaten at home and Fylde in solid form, it could be tough to split these two on Saturday, and the odds of 2.34 for the hosts looks about right with 2.47 a fair price on the visitors. Both teams to score at 1.49 looks good given the attacking credentials of both outfits, while Over 2.5 goals at 1.57 should also appeal to bettors who like the look of a open game.
Yeovil will be the more solid of the two, and look to have more about them, so a one-goal win for the home side or a draw in a tight game will be the top pick in the exact score market.
