MATCH PREVIEW | Aveley v Welling United

It’s Friday night lights for Welling United as they head to Parkside to take on Aveley (8pm).

The Wings can head across the Dartford crossing in good spirits having picked up four points over the last week with victory at Slough Town on Saturday followed up by a midweek draw at home to Tonbridge Angels.

That leaves Rod Stringer’s men head into the game in Essex in 18th position in National League South with 20 points, six points ahead of Friday’s opponents who occupy the final spot in the relegation zone in 21st.

Zain Walker could be available again having been made to sit out following a concussion protocol, but Daniel Martin will remain sidelined with a knee. complaint.

THE OPPONENTS

After a successful first season at step two last term in which they proved to be the surprise package by reaching the play-offs, they have found it somewhat more difficult the second time around.

They come into the game in 21st position with four wins, two draws and 12 defeats under their belt, but they will be buoyed by two wins from their last three league outings, most recently securing an impressive 6-3 victory at home to fellow strugglers St Albans City on Monday night.

LAST TIME OUT

Welling United kicked off their season with a 1-0 victory over Aveley at Park View Road when the sides met on opening day back in August.

Martell Taylor-Crossdale marked his debut with a spectacular winner midway through the first half which was all that was needed to get those all-important first three points on the board.
