Welling United form and stats

Welling United's struggle is real here at Park View Road with only 17 points collected from 17 Vanarama National League South games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-5-8.

Lyons-Foster was the last player to score a league goal for Welling United and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Welling United haven't scored in 282 minutes. Nothing to worry about in defence for Welling, as their goalkeeper Myles Roberts has completely shut out the opponents for 190 minutes in the Vanarama National League South.

Welling United travelled for their previous game, a trip to Farnborough that ended 0-0.

Before that, Welling United played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Hungerford Town.

Sports gamblers who prefer looking for low-scoring matches might like to know that this team have played 5 league rounds in a row with two goals or less (under 2.5).

The manager Feeney will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Ebbsfleet United in only three days.

Welling has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 28 goals have been conceded.

Concord Rangers form and stats

There's been little loot from Concord Rangers's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Vanarama National League South. Concord Rangers only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. Concord Rangers has drawn their two previous away games.

Home advantage was not enough for Concord Rangers in their previous game as they lost hosting Slough Town, 0-2.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Chippenham Town that ended 2-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

After this away game Concord Rangers return home for a Vanarama National League South game against Chelmsford City. That game is only three sleeps after this.
