With three defeats in their last four games, these are frustrating times for Stevenage as any kind of positive form keeps on eluding them. They head into the weekend in sixteenth place in the division and that is just one above Saturday’s opponents Yeovil. The Glovers are only a point back of Stevenage and they also have a game in hand over them. So they could make a good move for themselves here.

YeovilStevenage Form
Stevenage are still out of sorts having not recorded a win in any of their last four league games, getting just one point on the board in that sequence. At home they are W2 D5 L1 in their last eight so haven’t done much winning at the Lamex Stadium either. Their season really has just been a bit of a strange non-starter with them at no point having found any kind of consistency. They have been leading at half time in nine of their home games this season which is pretty good and they have averaged 1.75 goals per game on home soil. Their defence has been nothing special and it is worth backing both teams to score in the game the way things are going for Boro. Stevenage have conceded in each of their last four league games. They have conceded just 33% of their home goals in the first half of matches, so that suggests that they will have a strong first half and then it would be a matter of them holding on. Six times on home soil this season they have been 1-0 up at the break.
Yeovil Form
The Glovers are in a really nice bit of form at the moment and that’s come really out of the blue. They have collected ten points out of the last twelve available to them in the league, having won their last three home games. They do have good home form but they are struggling out on the road though with just two victories all season and they are currently winless in three on their travels, but have drawn their last two. So it is their home form which is propping them up. Yeovil have conceded an average of over two goals per game away from home so it’s worth looking over 2.5 goals for this game. There have been clean sheets in just 20% of their away games so they aren’t too likely to get out unscathed from the trip to the Lamex. 61% of their goals have come in the first half of matches away from home this season. Just four teams have collected fewer than the ten away points that the Glovers have managed this season.
Head to Head News
Stevenage are winless in their last four home games against Yeovil actually and overall in the head to head, the Glovers are 9-4 up with eleven drawn matches. The Glovers bagged a 3-0 home victory over Stevenage earlier this season and they are unbeaten in their last seven games against Boro now (W3 D4).

Top Betting Tip Stevenage v Yeovil
When teams are together in the league standings going into a game you generally expect that it will be a tight game and this is one is no exception. There’s not much to split these two up at all apart from the much better current form that the Glovers are carrying. They have the head to head form over Boro too so a narrow away win is tempting.
