Yeovil Town vs Boreham Wood Prediction: National League Preview

Match preview

Yeovil Town welcome Boreham Wood in the National League on 14 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 UTC. The hosts are seeking a response after losing 2-0 to Halifax, while Boreham Wood arrive after a 4-3 victory over Hartlepool United.

Recent scoring trends make this a meeting between a Yeovil side whose recent games have produced plenty of goals and a Boreham Wood team that has been consistently finding the net. The visitors also have a strong record in this fixture and on their travels, though those trends do not guarantee what will happen on the day.

Recent form and team analysis

Yeovil’s defeat at Halifax was decided by goals from Cody Johnson in the 59th minute and Will Flint eight minutes later. Across their last six matches, Yeovil have scored 16 times, with 22 goals in total across those fixtures. That points to attacking output, but the latest result also leaves them needing a more effective performance.

Boreham Wood’s last match was a seven-goal contest against Hartlepool. Danny Cashman, Tom White, Zak Brunt and Matt Rush scored in a 4-3 win, while the visitors conceded three times. Boreham Wood have scored in each of their last six outings, registering 18 goals and conceding six over that span.

The away side’s broader league record offers another reason for confidence: Boreham Wood have avoided defeat in their last nine away league matches. Yeovil, meanwhile, have not beaten them in their previous six league meetings. No further home or away performance figures for Yeovil are provided, so a fuller comparison of their venue-specific form is uncertain.

Head-to-head record

The supplied record of meetings since 25 September 2021 favours Boreham Wood, who have won 67 per cent of those matches; Yeovil have not recorded a victory in that period. The sides have scored 18 goals between them, with Boreham Wood accounting for 12 and Yeovil six.

Their most recent league meeting, on 11 February 2026, ended in a 3-2 Boreham Wood win. Past results give the visitors a clear historical edge, but they remain context rather than a prediction of the next result.

Team news and line-ups

The available information does not identify any injuries, suspensions or expected returns for either side. Starting line-ups and formations have not been supplied, so team selections remain uncertain.

Tactical factors

Boreham Wood’s scoring run and away record suggest they can pose a sustained threat, while Yeovil’s recent goal totals indicate potential to contribute in attack. The hosts will need to limit the visitors’ chances without losing their own attacking presence; the 4-3 result against Hartlepool also shows that Boreham Wood can concede, even when their forward line is productive.

With no confirmed team news or tactical details available, it is difficult to assess specific match-ups. The clearest indicators are the visitors’ unbeaten away sequence and their recent head-to-head advantage, set against Yeovil’s capacity for high-scoring games.

Yeovil Town vs Boreham Wood score prediction

Prediction: Yeovil Town 1-3 Boreham Wood.

Boreham Wood’s record of scoring in six consecutive matches, combined with nine away league games without defeat, makes them the stronger selection on the information available. Yeovil have shown attacking output across their recent fixtures, so a home goal is plausible, but their run without a league win over Boreham Wood is a concern.

This scoreline is a forecast, not a certainty. Yeovil’s recent matches have been productive, and Boreham Wood’s latest win featured three goals conceded, leaving room for the hosts to make the contest difficult.
