Walton and Hersham face Torquay United at Elmbridge Sports Hub, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey on Saturday, Oct 31 at 4:00 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the National League – South, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Walton and Hersham come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5). Torquay United, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Walton and Hersham head into this on the back of a defeat, while Torquay United arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Walton and Hersham a slight edge, but Torquay United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
