York City vs Aldershot Town: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Sat, 29 Nov '25)

This weekend promises a clash that would make even the most fervent football fans don their lucky socks, as York City warms up to host Aldershot Town in an epic showdown at the (not just one, but double the fun) LNER Community Stadium in the great land of York, England. Happening on Sat, 29 Nov '25 UTC, this match is sure to be a hoot, or at least a hoot-and-a-half, based on past encounters.

Now, history — that cheeky old bloke — tells us that York City has had not one, not two, but precisely two victorious encounters in their last three face-offs with Aldershot. Meanwhile, Aldershot has amassed zero wins. Zilch. Nada. There was one lonely draw to remind us that miracles can happen. The gavel of fate came down hardest on Aldershot last time when they suffered a 7-2 thumping on April 12th '25, with York City grinning like a Cheshire cat basking in its own tenacity.

Keeping the spotlight on recent performances, York City confidently pranced their way past Brackley Town with a 3-2 victory—a scoreline that, if nothing else, keeps their fans’ toasts buttered on both sides. Meanwhile, Aldershot Town had to dine on a not-so-tasty 1-2 defeat by Woking. That's not to mention the domestic league standings, where York City cavorts in position 3 whilst Aldershot Town bring up the rear in the 23rd spot.

As if serving a main course of points wasn't enough, one must sprinkle those performance stats with delectable player performances. The maestro of York City's goal-scoring symphony, O. Pearce, has hammered in a healthy 15 goals this season. Meanwhile, Aldershot Town swears by J. Barrett's generosity, as he's rolled out 6 assists, perhaps hoping his team might finally buy him lunch.

Player ratings tell tales too: York City whistles to the tune of Ollie Pearce at 7.52, Rory Watson close on his heels at 7.51, and trailing yet famed for his charm, Alex Hunt at 7.46. Aldershot's Joshua Barrett, described as a bundle of excitement with a rating of 7.69, towers over his fellow ballkickers Patrick Nash and Marcus Dewhurst, donning scores of 7.53 and 7.11, respectively.

What's a match without some figures to ponder whilst sipping a cuppa? York City is a veritable ball-hog, cradling that possession percentage kitten at a respectable 63.3%, whereas Aldershot Town settles for a more 53.7% approach — slightly less possessive but still admirable. When it comes to corners, York City averages a rather mathematically satisfying 7.26 corners per match, compared to Aldershot's 5.47 corner-kicks per game.

Discipline is key for being soccer-worthy, and so far, York City has attempted to behave, drawing only 33 Yellow cards. Aldershot Town? Not so much, with 43 yellows this season. Both have mercifully held back the red cards (perhaps mistaking them as Valentine’s tokens), yet both have conceded 5 penalty goals apiece. Now, let's paint a picture of predictions! With their strategic footwork, relentless possession, and overall impressive performance, the stats nod favorably toward York City ensuring a celebratory conga line through the LNER Community Stadium this Saturday!
