Aveley vs Brightlingsea tips and predictions

Aveley to make experience count

Aveley are currently in third place as they host 22nd place Brightlingsea.

This preview says that Aveley look capable of stamping their authority early doors. They are levels above Brightlingsea and even though they are the overwhelming favourites, the short price still represents great value. Expect them to come out and wreak havoc.

If their recent results are anything to go on, Brightlingsea are going to go through the wringer. The hosts have got 9 wins from 10 matches. Without so much success the visitors are bereft of form with 7 back-to-back losses. They should prepare themselves for defeat again here.

The home side's defence is worth a mention. This clash is an opportunity for them to keep a clean sheet; they have conceded no more than once in all of their last 15 home games. That's on top of rumours that the away side looks fragile in defence. On the road Brightlingsea have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 9 assignments. Worringly, the visitors have only scored twice in their last 8 games.

Most observers believe that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet due to the ardent favouritism for Aveley. If it plays out as many expect the No BTTS could be fair.
