  • Onto the game…

Stevenage will be hoping to post a first win in five after a frustrating week that saw a point rescued against Luton Town before defeat at Forest Green on Tuesday night.

Marooned in midtable, Darren Sarll’s side will see tomorrow’s game as a must-win to try and build some momentum going into the final stretch of the season.

Yeovil meanwhile have steered clear from the relegation places with a run of 3 wins from 4 league games.

The Glovers are now just one point behind Boro with a game in hand but their away form is one of the worst in the division, with just 10 points picked up from their 15 games on the road.

  • Team news…

Stevenage have a number of injury concerns going into tomorrow’s game with Joe Martin, Alex Samuel, Chris Whelpdale, Dale Gorman, Jonathan Smith and Jack King all unavailable in recent weeks whilst Terence Vancooten also limped off on Tuesday night.

There is further bad news in that Alex Revell’s red card has been upheld and as such, his ban will remain at four games, after picking up a straight red earlier in the season for Northampton.

  • View from the camp...

Glenn Roeder...

“I have got to say our group of players and this includes the new ones, there is a lot of bounce-back-ability there, they do bounce back.

“We have had some poor results in the past and then come back home and produce the performance and that is what we are looking for on Saturday, for us to produce a winning performance.

“Everyone likes playing at home, it is too obvious to say there is an advantage.

“If you go through every team’s results in any one season, they mostly pick up more points at home than away.

“So they will all be looking forward to getting back home, I certainly like playing at home personally.”

  • Previous meetings...

Almost half of all meetings between Stevenage and Yeovil have ended in a draw with the overall record currently at 6 wins, 13 draws and 10 defeats.

It has been 8 games since Stevenage last beat Yeovil, a 3-0 away win back in November of 2012. That win was the second in a row at Huish Park as Stevenage routed the Glovers to a 6-1 victory just 7 months prior.

Unbelievably, our last win at home against Yeovil came all the way back in 1998, a 2-1 triumph that saw Jason Solomon and Gary Crawshaw on the scoresheet.
