- Prediction: Yeovil Town are the clear favorites here, but there is value in betting on Leatherhead FC to at least compete.
- Away form: Leatherhead FC are unbeaten in 4 away games, winning 2 and drawing 2. They've also conceded just 4 goals on the road.
- Home record: Yeovil Town's home record across all competitions is: 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 5. The Glovers have scored 3.00 goals and conceded 1.60 per game at home.
Yeovil Town have momentum
Billy Rowley has got his Yeovil Town side playing a patient brand of soccer in a 4-2-3-1 shape, building up from the back and using the width of the pitch to stretch teams. They've gone 3 wins and 2 draws from their last 5 games across all competitions, so they come into this as the team in the better form.
- Rowley's side have been in particularly good attacking form, scoring 16 goals in their last 5.
- Johl Powell has scored 6 of those goals in that same period.
- A 6-0 home win over a Boston United side was followed by a 6-0 away win over Wealdstone and then a 3-3 draw in the cup at Leatherhead, so the matchup certainly has the makings of a competitive matchup.
Leatherhead FC set to make this a game
Style of play
Leatherhead set up in a much more compact manner. They are direct and are incredibly dangerous on set pieces, long throws and second balls.
Form and recent results
Mark Waters has been their main cutting edge of late, scoring 2 of their last 4 goals in their last 5 matches. The Tanners have been incredibly tough to beat recently, taking 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 across all competitions. Since that 3-3 draw with Yeovil at the weekend, they've played a 0-0 away draw at Chatham Town and a 1-2 defeat at home to Cheshunt. They are clearly in a different mindset to Yeovil Town.
Expect an upset here
Given the difference in leagues between these two sides, there should be enough in the Yeovil Town team to win this game. Leatherhead FC's unbeaten away record should hold them in good stead and they have been solid enough in the cup to suggest that they can compete in this game for long periods, so it will probably be a scrappy matchup.
The Glovers should nick it and a Yeovil win and a replay both look likely.
Yeovil Town 1.24 is way too short. Leatherhead FC are 6.2 here and the draw is 5.0, so there is plenty of value in the away side or the draw. Over 2.5 goals at 1.55 is also very generous, while Both Teams To Score: No at 1.7 looks a good play given that 3-3 draw at the weekend.
