Match Preview

Wellington AFC v Shepton Mallet AFC
Saturday 4th Feb – 3pm

On Saturday Shepton make the short drive to Wellington AFC.

With no game for weeks Shepton at last played a competitive match as they dumped local rivals Wells City out of the Les Phillips Cup. Wellington are probably in a false position in the league and have taken points from front runners Bridgwater and Saltash. Earlier in the season it was a 7 goal thriller at the Playing Fields with Shepton edging the game 4-3, in fact Wellington are the only one of three teams to score more than 2 league goals against the Mallet for two seasons.

Wellington currently sit 17th in the division with 17 points from 18 games consisting of 4 wins ( 2 at home ), 5 draws ( 3 at home ) and 9 losses ( 2 at home ). League form guide LWDLWS

Having played 2 more games, Shepton have 42 points with 13 wins ( 6 away ), 3 draws ( 1 away ) and 4 losses ( 3 away ). League form guide LWWWWD.

Shepton have the leagues best defensive record, only conceding 16 goals but have Wellington scored 18% of these. Can the black and whites squash the tangerines?
