The FA Trophy Round of 128 brings Horsham and Torquay together at The Fusion Aviation Community Stadium in a fixture that pits two National League South sides with contrasting recent trajectories. Horsham will look to build on a run that has seen them score consistently, while Torquay arrive seeking to tighten a defence that has leaked goals regularly this season.
Team form
Horsham
Horsham have shown attacking intent across their last five outings, scoring 7 goals and demonstrating the ability to find the net in most matches. Their record reads two wins, two draws and one defeat. The standout performance came against Hampton & Richmond, where they won 2-0, though they were unable to break down Salisbury in a goalless draw. Most recently, they drew 2-2 away at Ebbsfleet United, suggesting an entertaining brand of football but also some defensive vulnerability.
Torquay
Torquay's recent form has been considerably tighter at the other end of the pitch. Over the same five-game window, they have managed only 3 goals while conceding 6. That defensive frailty is evident in losses to Farnham Town and Dagenham & Redbridge, both by 2-0 margins. Their sole win came against Tonbridge Angels, but two goalless draws—at home to Weston-super-Mare and away at Ebbsfleet—suggest an attacking struggle that extends beyond individual matches.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record offers intrigue. Torquay have won twice in their last four meetings, both at home, but Horsham claimed a 2-1 victory at their own ground in August 2025. The most recent encounter, in August 2026, ended level at 1-1. While Torquay's home record in this fixture is strong, they arrive as visitors this time, a context that historically favours the hosts.
Key factors
Horsham's attacking output—1.4 goals per game over five matches—provides a foundation for optimism at home. Torquay's defensive record of 1.2 goals conceded per game is a concern, particularly against opponents who have shown they can score. Conversely, Torquay's low scoring rate of 0.6 goals per game limits their threat. The pitch at The Fusion Aviation Community Stadium will be familiar to Horsham, a natural advantage in a knockout tie where small margins matter. Cup football often rewards clinical finishing and defensive solidity; Horsham's recent form suggests they possess the former more convincingly than Torquay can claim the latter.
Prediction
Horsham hold a slight favourite's edge. Their superior attacking record and home advantage combine to suggest they are marginally more likely to progress. Torquay will need to tighten their defence significantly and find goals they have struggled to produce recently. The expected goal balance favours the hosts, and their recent consistency in scoring makes them the team better positioned to convert chances when they arrive.
Horsham are slight favourites to win this FA Trophy tie. For first-time viewers, this matchup showcases the competitive depth of English football outside the professional leagues—two sides with genuine quality and contrasting strengths. Expect Horsham to control possession and create opportunities; Torquay's task is containment and counter-attack. A low-scoring home victory looks the likeliest outcome, though Torquay's proven ability to frustrate opponents at this level means a draw remains a genuine possibility.
