Aldershot Town FC

vs

York City FC

Preview

Aldershot Town (Home)

• John Coleman’s Aldershot Town have also enjoyed a decent spell of form, winning three of their last five, but losing two.
• The National League’s 15th-placed team have only won six of their 16 home games in the league this term, losing eight times and conceding an average of 2.00 goals.
• The last of these defeats, which came in Aldershot, was against Rochdale (0-2), and the Shots have failed to win in their last two home games against the Minstermen.
• Aldershot’s pragmatic style, which eschews the ball in favour of a rigid structure and quick, direct transitions, will test York’s ability to stick to their possession-based game plan.
• The 7-goal top scorer in 11 National League appearances for the Shots is a clinical finisher and his efforts will be needed against the division’s most formidable attack.

York City FC (Away)

• York City FC are clear favourites at 1.57 to record another away win over Aldershot Town FC this Saturday.
• Stuart Maynard’s side have been in fine form of late, winning four of their last five matches, including a 3-goal win over Eastleigh last time out.
• Yanil has been a revelation for the Minstermen, and his side’s 2.11 goals per game average when away from home in the National League this season will strike fear into the hearts of the hosts.
• The Minstermen are the division’s second-best travellers, winning 13 of their 18 away matches and conceding just 0.89 goals per away game, on average.
• Ollie Pearce has been York City FC’s talisman this season, netting 29 times in the National League, and he’s a good option to score at any time in this fixture.
