- Havant & Waterlooville are winless in their one away game in the 2026 Southern League Premier Division South (L2), conceding 2 goals.
- Plymouth Parkway are unbeaten at home in the 2026 Southern League Premier Division South (W1 from 1), conceding 0 goals.
- Ryan Seager has scored 2 of Havant & Waterlooville's 2 goals in their last 5 matches.
Plymouth Parkway are solid, simple and can score
Plymouth Parkway are 10th in the 2026 Southern League Premier Division South after collecting 4 points from their first 3 games. Plymouth Parkway have their feet firmly under the table early in the season and should not be underestimated in this fixture. The last 4 head-to-head meetings have seen 1 win apiece and 2 draws.
Plymouth's last 5 matches in all competitions have produced 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, so it's a good run of form that they'll be keen to extend on Saturday. Plymouth Parkway beat Bracknell Town FC by seven goals to nil at home, held Bath City to a 1-1 draw away and were beaten 3-2 by Chippenham Town FC away. It's a pragmatic and solid setup with a good base on defence and they can play with some tempo when they need to.
Havant are yet to get going
Havant & Waterlooville FC are 18th in the 2026 Southern League Premier Division South after taking 3 points from their opening 3 fixtures, so they have work to do. Paul Doswell has been in charge of the club since 29 April 2019 so he has a long-term view on proceedings, but his men need to get into the rhythm of things.
Havant have won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5, and their most recent two games were a 0-2 defeat at home to Uxbridge FC and a 1-0 win at home to Frome Town FC. The most recent result is an obvious positive, but that form line is certainly not convincing.
Plymouth Parkway to pinch it
Plymouth Parkway are 107/100 favourites for this game ahead of Havant & Waterloville FC at 39/20 and the draw at 129/50. I think the odds are stacked slightly in favour of the home side, but I'm willing to give them a chance here.
Doswell's men look organised and positive on the ball, they don't look like a team that are going to sit deep and defend for their lives. However, Plymouth Parkway will try to stifle Havant's flow and break quickly when they can. They've won their last two home matches in all competitions and can make The Parkway a tough place to go on Saturday.
Over 2.5 goals at 27/50 is a strong fit here, especially as BTTS Yes is 47/100. I think Plymouth are the most likely winners, but the 3-3 draw from the last meeting in the Southern League Premier Division South 2025/2026 proves that this is a fixture that can get crazy.
