It's match week two of the Vanarama National League South campaign and important points to play for. Check out our detailed preview of Aveley-Taunton Town!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Aveley form and stats

The season before, Aveley's league statistics were 23 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses, leading to 4th position in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. In these 42 matches they scored {64 goals} and gave away 42. Performing at their own stadium in the former season Aveley delivered 11-5-5 (win-draw-lost) with {26 goals} and 18 conceded.

No payout for Aveley in their previous match, an away game at Chippenham Town that ended in defeat 0-1.

A 0-0 draw away in the Non League Premier: Play-offs before that, with Canvey Island the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Aveley perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Aveley as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Aveley has won 3 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Eastbourne Borough are coming to town in two days.

Taunton Town form and stats

Let's have a look at how Taunton Town performed last season in the Vanarama National League South: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 17 victories, 10 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 50 and conceded {55 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 4 and lost 10 with 25/28 goals scored/conceded.

Taunton are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the fixture against Braintree Town (placed 15th). Stearn came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Braintree Town last time out, making the manager Dray feel like a tactical genius.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Weymouth.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 11 similar matches played by Taunton Town in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Taunton Town, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Taunton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League South game at Weymouth is waiting in only three days.

Head 2 Head
