York City FC vs Aldershot Town FC Best odds and tips

York City FC have been one of the best sides in the National League 2024-2025 season and Adam Hinshelwood’s appointment as manager in February 2024 has certainly been a masterstroke. The Minstermen have won four of their last five National League matches and have recorded impressive results against the likes of Wealdstone (3-0) and AFC Fylde (1-3) in recent weeks. York City FC’s success is built on a possession-based style of play, which can be tough to play against on their day and they have the quality to dominate the pace of this game against Aldershot Town. Ollie Pearce has been York City FC’s main man this season, is the National League’s top scorer with 27 goals and his presence alone makes York City FC the clear favourites for this clash at 1.55.

Aldershot Town have had a solid, if unspectacular season under Tommy Widdrington, who took over as manager in April 2023. The Shots have won three and lost two of their last five National League matches and they slipped up at home to Boston United (1-2) last time out. Aldershot Town have won five of their 20 National League away matches this season and they have been exposed at the back on their travels, conceding an average of 1.70 goals per game. The Shots will look to counter-attack in this clash and Josh Barrett, who has 15 goals to his name in this campaign, is their main threat.

York City FC have a formidable home record this season, winning 14, drawing three and losing just three of their 20 National League home matches. Aldershot Town FC will provide a test for the Minstermen on Saturday, but York City FC have the superior record and are the form team, so I’m tipping them to win. The last meeting between these two sides finished 0-0, so the visitors may not be as far off the pace as the league table suggests. York City FC have been involved in some high-scoring home matches of late, so the total goals market is one to watch, but I think the Minstermen can get the better of the Shots on Saturday.
