Aldershot Town vs Boreham Wood Match Analysis & Prediction
31/01/2023 10:45 pm
Aldershot Town welcome Boreham Wood to the Electrical Services Stadium on Tuesday, with the two sides separated by just two points in the National League table.
This fixture is a mid-table contest with 14th-placed Aldershot Town on 34 points and their 11th-placed visitors Boreham Wood on 36 points.
Both sides are within striking distance of the playoffs, but they will need to put their own respective runs together if they are to realise their shared ambition of climbing up to the Football League.
Newly-appointed Aldershot manager Ross McNeilly has had a wildly inconsistent start to his tenure at the Hampshire side. Since his appointment on December 5, a victory in his first game was followed by a run of four defeats in a row across all competitions.
McNeilly and his Aldershot side have steadied the ship in recent occasions, and are currently on a five-game unbeaten run heading into Tuesday, with three of those five matches being wins.
Aldershot’s sixth-highest tally of goals conceded in the National League of 48 will have to be dramatically reduced from Tuesday onwards if they are to make any ground on the several teams above them in the playoff race.
Luke Garrard and his Boreham Wood side have gained national plaudits for their FA Cup runs in recent years and are on course for a third successive mid-table finish in the National League.
Despite occupying 11th place, they are just three points adrift of Dagenham & Redbridge in the final playoff spot of seventh and they will feel confident of usurping the traffic ahead of them in the table between now and May.
Boreham Wood’s rigidity has kept the promotion bid fading slightly and Garrard’s side will know that they need to start turning this solidity into consistent maximum-point hauls, so the trip to Aldershot represents a good kick-starting point for this aim.
Aldershot Town vs. Boreham Wood Head to head
In the 15 previous meetings between these two sides, Aldershot have claimed seven victories while Boreham have won four, and they have drawn in four. Boreham have scored 17 goals and conceded 23 in the process.
