Wingate & Finchley are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the game against Bognor Regis Town (placed 15th). A stark raving crazy fixture with masses of goals last time out for Finchley, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this match be as refreshing?

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Wingate & Finchley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.
