Form Guide
After finishing in 6th position last season, in the Southern League Premier Division South, Havant & Waterlooville, who were in the National League as recently as 2019, have found this season rather difficult and sit in 21st place in the league table.
Last Saturday the Hawks lost 0-3 at home to Poole Town, this being their 10th league defeat of the season. Three weeks ago, they beat Weymouth 2-0 at home followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Chertsey, but before that they lost their previous 6 games – of which five were away from home, (including a narrow defeat at Gloucester in the FA Trophy). Their previous victory was a 3-1 win at Basingstoke on 20th September and they did beat Tiverton at home in the FA Trophy at the beginning of October.
The Hawks league record shows just 4 wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats, earning 15 points, scoring 24 goals and conceding 34 times.
Previous meetings
The two teams have never met before but Yate Town have previously played Havant Town and also Waterlooville before these two teams merged back in 1998.
