Aldershot (Home)
- Aldershot Town FC sit 8th in the National League 2026/2027 having taken 15 points from their first 9 matches, whilst Tamworth FC are currently 21st with 8 points from their 9 games to date.
- Scott Davies has been in charge of Aldershot since 1 July 2026 and he has begun to mould The Shots into a quicker, more organised unit than the one which preceded him.
- Davies' men are a real 4-3-3 side, and they're a high-energy side that will press and then get back in shape quickly, ready for the next attack.
- Tristan Abrahams is the focal point and he's their most dangerous player so far this season with five goals in seven National League 2026/2027 games, but they are a better balanced side than the numbers indicate.
- Davies' side have been solid enough on home turf, picking up seven points from the last four home games (W2, D1, L1).
Tamworth (Away)
- Tamworth can be tough to get the better of on their day and Andy Peaks has certainly made them a compact, physical team since taking the helm on 15 February 2022.
- Peaks' men have been tough to crack in recent weeks, but their form has been mixed-to-poor overall (W1, D1, L3).
- The Lambs were well beaten 3-1 away to Harrogate and they fell by the same score away to Southend, before just edging out Wealdstone 2-1 at home.
- They have yet to claim an away win in the National League 2026/2027 (D1, L4).
Head-to-Head
- Tamworth have a slight head-to-head advantage over Aldershot in the two meetings so far (W1, D1).
- The last time these sides met was seven months ago in the National League 2025/2026 when they played out a 1-1 draw in Tamworth.
