Aldershot Town face Tamworth at the EBB Stadium this Saturday afternoon in a National League fixture. The match kicks off at 3pm UK time on 26 September, with The Shots looking to recover from a narrow loss last weekend.
Tommy Widdrington's side sit eighth in the table with 15 points from nine matches, having won four, drawn three and lost two. Their recent form has been mixed, with a 1-0 defeat away to Barrow last Saturday followed by a 1-1 home draw with Yeovil Town the previous Tuesday. They have scored 10 league goals and conceded seven, giving them a solid defensive record.
Team news and form
Aldershot's starting lineup against Barrow featured J. Macaulay in goal, with a defensive line of M. Efete, K. Oshilaja, M. Stickland and T. Dyce. The midfield and attack included D. Odusanya, B. Tuma, C. Lawless, N. Adom-Malaki, B. Peart and M. Dinanga. Top scorer Ryan Hill, with nine goals this term, will be a key figure.
Visitors Tamworth arrive in 21st position, having taken just eight points from their nine games. They ended a poor run with a 2-1 home win over Wealdstone last time out, but had lost three consecutive matches before that. Their top scorer is Oliver Lynch with 12 goals.
This is a significant opportunity for Aldershot to consolidate their top-half position against a struggling side. The match is a chance for The Shots to build momentum ahead of a busy period.
