History of the Yeovil Town v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Brighton & HA face a trip to Yeovil Town at Huish Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 1 wins from the previous 4 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2007, the Glovers carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Yeovil Town have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Glovers have scored 4, a worringly large 7 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Brighton & HA however, is much more impressive, with a marvellous return of five wins and one defeat from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Seagulls, and 7 goals against.

Yeovil Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 5 points from 5 matches. Brighton & HA lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 8 from their 5 games so far.
