Welling United form and stats

0 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Welling United, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in Vanarama National League South, have to build on here at Park View Road in the Vanarama National League South. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Welling, their manager B. Quinton and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

D. Akinyemi was the last player to score a league goal for Welling United and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Welling haven't scored in 271 minutes.

Welling United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus St Albans City (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the away draw at Oxford City that finished 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Welling United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Welling as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Welling United has won six of these, drawn two and lost three.

Welling has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. Welling have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.
