Ebbsfleet United - Torquay United Torquay was one of the teams we unsuccessfully supported last Saturday in the National League championship against Halifax, in search of its first double this year and just its second overall victory of the season. The final result (1-1) may not have justified our choice, but it was an appearance that left several promises while it was later commonly accepted that the draw was the least worth the match.
It was not one of the games claiming quality laurels (adverse weather conditions clearly played a role in this) however Torquay was the one who deservedly deserved the three points of victory, essentially paying once again for its inability to transform creates in goals.
Despite the relative disappointment (basis of the game) in terms of the result and the always unfavorable scoring position in which it is, as we stressed in Saturday's analysis, the atmosphere in the team is very good, as well as the belief that the whole thing remained unchanged. backdrop can be reversed, especially since there are clearly other worse groups. Of course, with just one win in those first 16 games, any counterattack - if he really has the ability to do it - should start soon and as long as the "rivals" are close to the standings, so the game with Empsflit is particularly critical.
Embsfleet, for its part, is anything but an easy opponent. She may not win easily, however she does not lose as easily as her only two defeats so far show. Almost an "Italian" team, so to speak, with already 9 (!!!) draws in 16 games, its games as usual move to the limit and somewhere there we in turn support the choice of the double at 5,02 (goalbet), combined with its difficulty at home. In the last two, yes, he won, but he did it against the deformed Halifax and the bad Barrow with difficulty, while before he ran a series of 5 without a win.
It is not easy in any case and we know in advance that we are actually going to "steal" a result, however we believe that in the existing odds of fivefold and waiting for the possible "turn" of Torquay, our risk is covered.
