Truro City vs Braintree Town: match statistics
Truro City, despite a difficult situation in the table (24th place), displays significantly better form in home matches than Braintree Town does away. The hosts win 31% of their home games and concede an average of only 1.25 goals per match, while the visitors lose a staggering 69% of their away fixtures, conceding an average of 2.13 goals. A key factor is also the difference in goal difference – Truro has +1 in home matches, whereas Braintree presents a disastrous -24 on the road. xG statistics also speak in favor of the hosts (1.43 vs 1.38 for the visitors), and Braintree fails to score in half of their away matches (FTS% 50%). Taking all data into account, Truro City has a realistic chance of victory in front of their home crowd, though the poor form of both teams in the last five matches suggests that a draw is also possible.
