The home team, Weymouth, is looking strong, with a projected win and a double chance of either securing all three points or sharing the spoils.

Recent form suggests that Weymouth has the upper hand, with a slight edge in their head-to-head encounters. In their last meeting, the two teams played out a 1-1 draw back in September.

With a predicted goals band of -2.5 for the home team, it’s clear that Weymouth is expected to dominate possession and test Taunton Town’s defense.

On the other hand, Taunton Town will need to be resilient and organized if they hope to snatch a win or even a point on the road. Their predicted goals band of -3.5 suggests that they might struggle to find the back of the net, but they can take heart from their 3-1 win over Weymouth in December 2022.

As the two teams clash, the odds are firmly in Weymouth’s favor, with a 45% chance of winning and an additional 45% chance of drawing. Taunton Town’s chances of securing all three points are slim, at just 10%. Despite this, the visitors will be eager to prove themselves and cause an upset.
