Match preview: Boreham Wood back at Meadow Park with momentum to regain form
Boreham Wood return to Meadow Park on 11/02/2026 knowing this is a match they should be expected to dominate. The hosts sit comfortably higher in the table — sixth with 56 points from 29 matches — and their season numbers underline a team that creates chances and keeps clean sheets. Boreham Wood have accumulated 55 goals across the campaign and boast 11 clean sheets, with a home defence that has conceded only 15 goals. Despite a recent stuttering patch that included a heavy 4-1 reverse at Rochdale, the bigger picture is one of offensive potency and control when playing at Meadow Park.
Yeovil Town arrive in Borehamwood in far less impressive league standing, occupying 14th place with 34 points from 28 games. Their away record shows only 13 goals scored on the road and 16 conceded, suggesting they can be limited when forced out of their comfort zone. Recent form is mixed: pockets of resilience in successive wins interspersed with losses. Their latest victory — a narrow 1-0 success at Altrincham with Terrell Works singled out as the standout performer — will have boosted confidence, but the numbers still favour the hosts.
Tactical edge and recent meetings
The underlying team stats tilt the argument toward Boreham Wood. They average more attacks (118.62) and dangerous attacks (75.07) than Yeovil’s corresponding figures. Shots and shots on target also favour the home side, indicating sustained pressure in the final third. Historical context adds to the story: Boreham Wood claimed a 3-0 victory in their meeting earlier in the season, a reminder that Yeovil have struggled against this opponent when things click for the hosts.
Yeovil can pride themselves on resilience and have put together useful results away from home, but limits in attacking output on the road and a lower percentage of over-2.5 goal games suggest they’re more likely to be contained here. Boreham Wood’s home matches show a high over-2.5 frequency, yet their defensive solidity at Meadow Park makes a single-home-win outcome plausible without a goal-fest.
Final take and betting suggestion
On balance, this shapes up as a Boreham Wood victory. The hosts’ stronger home defensive record, superior chance creation and previous head-to-head result give them the edge. Yeovil’s recent narrow wins show fight, but not the firepower or defensive consistency needed to frustrate Boreham Wood over 90 minutes at Meadow Park.
