WEYMOUTH-GRAVESEND ...


... is live on SKY tonight, this is the first time either side have ever been shown in a live televised league game, so a huge event for both. Sure to be a few nerves.

Weymouth are strong at home, 5-1-0 this season and only one defeat in some 30 starts at the Wessex Stadium. Having been promoted last season most of these have been at a lower level, but impressive none the less.

However, their recent form has been poor, two defeats following by a very scrappy 2-1 win over St Albans, where the Terras own supporters, were very critical of their performance. They have been conceding possession far too easily and allowing sides to dominate. If they play as poorly again tonight, they will lose.

Gravesend are on a 9 match unbeaten run and despite having limited funds, play with a lot of spirit. They have a potent strike force in De Bolla and MacDonald ( 15 goals between them), which always gives you a chance. Fleet have a couple of long term injured players now fit and ready to return to action, so competition for places is keen.

The home side have only scored two goals in a match once ( St Albans) in nine starts and I do not see them improving upon that against a Fleet defence, which has just kept a clean sheet against free scoring Dagenham. Think a draw is a very possible result, but going to side with the visitors on the asian handicap.

4 points Gravesend +1/4 ball asian line 1.92.

Good Luck.
