Tamworth host Woking this Saturday in a National League fixture with both sides aiming to improve their positions in the lower half of the table. The match at The Lamb Ground kicks off at 3pm on October 31, 2026, and is the 16th round of the regular season.
Manager Andy Peaks will be looking for a response after back-to-back defeats. His side, currently 20th with 14 points from 13 games, lost 2-1 at Carlisle United last weekend and were beaten 2-1 by Barrow at home the week before. Those results followed a 1-0 win over Leeds United U21s in the EFL Trophy and a 1-0 league victory at Hartlepool United. The team's overall record shows five wins, five losses, and three draws from their 13 league matches so far.
Recent form
Tamworth's recent form has been inconsistent, with three wins and two losses in their last five matches across all competitions. They have shown resilience at home in cup ties but need to translate that into league points. Woking arrive with similarly mixed fortunes, having won 3-2 against Scunthorpe United last time out but losing 3-2 to Boreham Wood and 1-0 to Harrogate Town earlier this month.
Team news
Peaks is likely to consider changes after the recent defeats. The starting line-up against Barrow featured R. Lovett in goal, with a defence of T. Handley, H. Carson, J. Rye and T. Parkes. O. Dyson, T. Kurtaran and T. McGlinchey formed the midfield, supporting forwards M. Roberts, R. Calder and K. Donnelly. Kurtaran scored a late penalty in that game. Midfielder J. Law is a doubt for the hosts after missing the last two matches with a minor hamstring issue.
The fixture is a chance for Tamworth to create some distance from the relegation zone. They sit just two places and a handful of points above 22nd-placed Scunthorpe, who they face at home in their next league game on Tuesday. The focus now is squarely on securing a positive result against Woking to build momentum. A win could see Tamworth climb as high as 17th, depending on other results.
