Saturday Preview | On the road to victory
Balham vs Tadley-Calleva
Tadley-Calleva are on the road again as they look to bounce back from defeat against Farnham Town who still hold a 100% record in the league.
Despite the four goal deficit, Tadley looked strong in spells and caused Farnham trouble when moving forward into the final third. On another day, with chances taken, the scoreline could have been much tighter.
Balham have had an inconsistent start to the season with six wins and five defeats in the league. Despite this, the South London based club have won three league games on the bounce, notably a 0-2 win away at Redhill last time out.
Tadley will welcome some familiar faces back to the squad with Alfie Saunders and Scott Kinge coming back into the fold, with some unavailablities to contend with.
Head 2 Head
Last season saw two highly competitive fixtures between these two sides, with Tadley taking just one point, thanks to a 1-1 draw at Barlow's Park.
In the corresponding fixture last season, Balham were instinctive and caught Tadley on the break to secure all three points.
