Ebbsfleet United vs Torquay Predictions

Bottom-of-the-table Ebbsfleet United will host playoff hopefuls Torquay United in this Tuesday’s National League clash. Torquay will hope to extend their unbeaten run to 5 games in this  fixture. 

An Ebbsfleet side who have only managed to win just 2 games all season will attempt to stand in Torquay’s way. Ebbsfleet have lost their last 2 National League games and we don’t fancy their chances too much in this fixture.

We are confident that this game will deliver plenty of goals. Neither of these sides have been particularly solid at the back this season. Ebbsfleet have the worst defensive record in the National League and have conceded a total of 28 goals from their 15 league games this season. 

Meanwhile, Torquay, who sit in 9th place in the National League table, have conceded 22 goals this season. This gives them the worst defensive record in the top 16. Only 6 teams have conceded more goals than Torquay this season. 

However, Torquay have been firing on all cylinders at the other end of the pitch this season. They have scored 25 goals from 15 games, only Barrow and league leaders Halifax have scored 1 more goal than Torquay. 

10 of Ebbsfleet’s 15 games have delivered over 2.5 goals. Similarly, 10 of Torquay’s 15 games have also delivered over 2.5 goals this season. Furthermore, Ebbsfleet have conceded in 6 of their 7 home games this season. Meanwhile, Torquay have scored in 5 of their 7 away games this season. 

Torquay scored 2 or more goals in each of their last 3 games and we are confident that this game will deliver over 2.5 goals. 

We feel that Torquay’s attacking quality will be too much for Ebbsfleet’s poor defense. Ebbsfleet have kept just 1 clean sheet all season. They have lost their last 2 games, and have failed to score in 3 of their last 4 games. 

We are confident that Torquay will get the win in this Tuesday’s game and feel that a 3-1 win for Torquay has a good chance of occurring.
