Leatherhead look to keep things tight in cup clash
Leatherhead FC come into Saturday's FA Cup Qualification 2026 clash against Yeovil Town in decent form, but their run of five wins, three draws and two defeats from their last ten games has been a little inconsistent for real momentum to build.
In their most recent trio of fixtures, Leatherhead boss Ian Selley's men have played out a steady 1-0 home win over Hanworth Villa in the FA Cup Qualification 2026, a 0-0 draw away to Chatham Town FC in the Isthmian League Premier Division 2026/2027 and a 1-2 home defeat to Cheshunt FC in the same competition.
In terms of playing style, the Tanners are set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation by Selley, who is keen to keep the game simple and keep possession where possible. They can stay in games and even outplay opponents if they keep their structure and shape, but there's not much of an immediate threat on the counter-attack.
Yeovil have been in scintillating form
Yeovil Town come into the fixture as the clear favourites and the bookies have them down at 41/100 for the away win, which seems fair considering the Glovers have won six, drawn two and lost just two of their last ten across all competitions.
Billy Rowley's men have won their last two games and have been devastating in attack during this period, hammering Boston United FC 6-0 at home and Wealdstone FC 6-0 away, although their most recent results have been a bit more reserved.
Johl Powell is the danger man in this Yeovil side and he has netted seven goals in the last five games in which the Glovers have racked up 17 goals in total. They play a more adaptable style of football than Leatherhead in that they like to dominate possession first, but they also look to stretch the pitch and break opponents down in waves.
Backing the visitors
The hosts are in decent enough form, but the higher-level quality and sharper form of the visitors should be enough to carry them to an away win on Saturday.
These teams' contrasting styles of play should make for an interesting encounter, with Leatherhead looking to slow the game down and remain compact while Yeovil are designed to stretch the play and force their way through.
Over 2.5 goals at 2/5 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1/2 are both well priced considering the goal-heavy styles of both sides, but we're going for the Yeovil win in the main selection. They have won three of their five away matches across all competitions, drawing one and losing one, and have only conceded five goals on the road in the process, so a convincing away performance could be on the cards.
