Both teams to score at Torquay vs Altrincham 4/6 for Saturday’s National League battle

Competition: National League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

Hoping to move within touching distance of the top-half this weekend, Altrincham will make the trip to Torquay on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, despite extending on their FA Cup adventure earlier in the week, Torquay are enduring a real National League struggle since opening the 2022/23 campaign. In their opening 13 fifth-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded just two wins, three draws and eight defeats, scoring nine and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of nine, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table and three points adrift of finding a route out of the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, despite being last seen picking up a 2-1 victory away at lower-league Hampton & Richmond, that was the first win that Torquay have collected from their previous eight matchups across all formats. However, it should be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have seen four of their last five contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, watching their unbeaten run come to an abrupt end earlier in the week, Altrincham will be seeking an immediate response here. In their opening 13 National League matchups so far this season, they have recorded three wins, five draws and five defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 14, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 16th in the standings and three points adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Gateshead on FA Cup duties, that result brought an end to Altrincham’s three-match unbeaten run. However, it should be noted, with Saturday’s guests seeing each of their last six contests across all formats finish with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
