Wealdstone vs Sutton Utd Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this National League scrap down at Wealdstone's place. The Stones are sitting pretty in mid-table with 19 points, while Sutton are rock bottom with just 9 points to their name - and they still haven't won a game in their last 10 attempts!

Wealdstone's recent form has been a bit hit and miss, mind you. They took a proper pasting 4-0 at York in their last league outing, but before that they were banging in five against Whitstable Town in the FA Cup. They've been decent at home too, winning a third of their last six home games and keeping it tight at the back.

Sutton, on the other hand, are the draw specialists of the division. Six draws in their last 10 games tells its own story - they're hard to beat but can't get over the line. They've been shipping goals for fun though, conceding 2.1 per game and not keeping a single clean sheet in their last 10 matches. That's right, ZERO clean sheets!

The head-to-head makes for interesting reading. Four meetings between these two, with Sutton edging it with two wins to Wealdstone's none, though both of the last two have ended 2-2. Goals tend to flow when they meet up.

Looking at the numbers, Sutton are scoring plenty (1.7 per game) but their defence is leakier than a sieve. Wealdstone at home are averaging 1.67 goals scored and only conceding 1.17. With Sutton's inability to keep teams out and Wealdstone's decent home record, I'm expecting both sides to find the net here.

The bookies have Both Teams To Score at 1.62, which looks about right to me. Sutton haven't failed to score in 90% of their recent games, and while Wealdstone can be tight at the back, they're facing a side who just can't stop conceding. It's got the makings of a proper barnstormer!
