Torquay vs Worthing tips and predictions

Hard to take sides in National League South match

There's not much between Torquay and Worthing in the National League South. The hosts are in fifth place with 21 points, compared to their opponents who are in tenth place on 19 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Torquay renders them unbackable. Worthing don't look likely to get the job done but they can make a fist of this. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Solid on their own soil Torquay have conceded at an average of just 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches, while Worthing have only conceded 0.7 goals per game on average in their last 3 away matches.

The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Torquay. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.

Torquay have drawn 4 of their last 11 matches on their own soil. They drew 1-1 with Eastbourne Boro last Saturday. Worthing have drawn 3 of their last 7 away matches. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to be on your guard about. A deadlock awaits after what will probably be a close encounter.
