Match snapshot and mood at The EBB Stadium
Aldershot Town welcome Altrincham to The EBB Stadium on 06/12/2025 in a Round 22 clash that feels like a crossroads for the hosts. Aldershot sit 23rd in the Enterprise National League with just 13 points from 21 games and a run of results that reads painfully: eight defeats in their last ten, including heavy losses such as a 5-1 reversal at York City and a 3-2 home defeat to Forest Green Rovers. The EBB’s 7,100 capacity won’t be enough to paper over defensive cracks — Aldershot have conceded 47 goals across the campaign and managed only 17 at home.
Altrincham arrive in a steadier mood, positioned 14th with 26 points. Their recent form is patchy but contains momentum-building wins, most recently a 4-2 triumph over Scunthorpe United where Ollie Crankshaw earned the match’s top rating. Altrincham’s season is built on a willingness to attack on the road and to counter decisively; they’ve scored 26 and conceded 31, and crucially they’ve kept five clean sheets away from home, showing they can be disciplined when required.
Why goals look likely in this fixture
The numbers point emphatically toward over-packed scorelines. Aldershot’s matches have gone over 2.5 goals in more than three-quarters of their games, while Altrincham also show a healthy over-2.5 rate. Recent head-to-head history adds fuel to that view: the two sides met earlier this season in a 3-2 encounter, and both teams have produced multi-goal affairs in their latest outings. Aldershot’s defensive vulnerabilities, combined with Altrincham’s ability to find the net away from home, create a strong narrative for a high-scoring night in Aldershot.
Tactical balance favors the visitors on form, but the home side’s aggressive attempts to correct course mean they’re likely to leave spaces behind. Shot volumes are comparable — both teams average around 12 shots per game — which suggests the encounter will be open and end-to-end rather than cagey.
Altrincham’s recent performances show they can both score and concede, and Aldershot’s desperate search for points could lead to a more expansive approach that plays into the hands of a side confident on transition. For bettors and fans who like the thrill of fluctuating scorelines, this fixture ticks a lot of boxes.
