- Yeovil Town have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 games, scoring 16 goals in that sequence.
- Leatherhead FC have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5, so they're coming into this as the underdog.
- The reverse fixture finished 3-3 at Leatherhead FC's ground in FA Cup Qualification 2026, so this is already a hot fixture.
Free scoring Glovers can outscore the Tanners
Yeovil Town are 6/25 to take advantage of their home advantage in the FA Cup Qualification 2026 ties between these two clubs, and that price is probably about right given the form of the hosts. Leatherhead FC have been superb on their travels, but the hosts are hot favourites here and have been in great goalscoring form of late. However, with the Tanners coming into the game unbeaten in 4 away from home (W2, D2), there is a chance that this could be closer than the market suggests.
The Glovers have been flying lately and are in no mood to cruise past their lowly opponents in this fixture. Johl Powell has 6 goals in his last 5 games and the visitors will know that they have to keep a lid on him here. They've already seen what Yeovil Town can do when their attacking players are on song after a 3-3 draw in the reverse. That result and the last 2 performances before that, where they hammered Boston United 6-0 at home and Wealdstone 6-0 away, suggests that Billy Rowley's men could have this tied up in the first half.
Leatherhead's last 3 matches have been much more cagey. They drew 0-0 away to Chatham Town before losing 1-2 at home to Cheshunt, and then there was that aforementioned 3-3 draw with Yeovil. Mark Waters is their current cutting edge with 2 of Leatherhead's last 4 goals in his account, so they have the firepower to score here.
Leatherhead could still make this competitive
Rowley likes to play a patient 4-2-3-1 and Yeovil have good width and can overwhelm teams when they get going. The Tanners are more compact, setting up to counter attack and use set pieces, long throws and second balls to do damage. That should see more of the ball for Yeovil, but we like the fact that Leatherhead can snag a goal on their way to a potential replay.
Over 2.5 goals is 11/20 and looks like the best bet on the goals markets. Yeovil should nick it, but Leatherhead will still be in it for long periods of the game and this could be a scrappy replay.
