AFC Hornchurch host Yeovil Town in the National League. Yeovil have been the steadier of the two sides so far this season, sitting comfortably in the top half of the table. Hornchurch's season has been more up and down, and they're currently a fair way further down.
This one's still a month away, so there's time for things to shift before kickoff. What's already clear from the early-season numbers is a gap between how each side performs at home compared with on the road.

How each side has been playing
Hornchurch's overall numbers look decent on the surface, but that sample mixes in cup and friendly fixtures alongside the league games. Strip those out and their National League form has cooled recently, with four defeats in their last five league matches, either side of a single win over Scunthorpe.
AFC Hornchurch: 20 completed matches; Yeovil Town: 20 completed matches.

Yeovil's league form tells a steadier story. They've won five, drawn three and lost only twice in their last ten matches, and they've won each of their last two outings, one at home and one away.
Yeovil arrive with the more consistent recent league form of the two sides.
Comparative Team Statistics: AFC Hornchurch vs Yeovil Town
Where they sit in the table
After ten league games apiece, Yeovil are sixth on 18 points, four clear of Hornchurch down in 11th on 15. Both sides have won exactly five league games this season, but Yeovil have turned more of their other results into draws rather than defeats, which explains most of the gap.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |

| 5 | Aldershot Town | 10 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 15/8 | 18 |
| 6 | Yeovil Town | 10 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 19/14 | 18 |

| 11 | AFC Hornchurch | 10 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 11/15 | 15 |
| 12 | Forest Green | 10 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 16/17 | 14 |
Home form versus away form
Look closer at the venue split and Hornchurch's league form makes more sense at home than it does on the road. Their home league games have brought three wins from four, with just one defeat, while their away record has been far shakier, with only two wins from six.
Yeovil, by contrast, haven't shown much weakness away from home this season either, taking two wins and two draws from their five away league matches.
Hornchurch's home form gives them a route back into this, even with the wider gap in the table.

There's a reasonable case for Yeovil given their overall form and league position, but Hornchurch have looked a genuinely different team at home this season than they have away from it.
With no market posted yet and a month still to run before kickoff, we'd rather wait and see how team news and any prices develop closer to the game.
Who will win?
