Wealdstone, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-0 National League success versus Chesterfield.
It’s been seldom in recent times that Wealdstone have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Wealdstone have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals during that time. That kind of trend might not follow through into this next game, though.
