Boreham Wood
WDLLLL ๐
Boreham Wood will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 3-0 National League losing effort in their last game against Chesterfield.
Jamie Grimes (28', 67') and Liam Mandeville (46') scored for Chesterfield.
It has not been often in recent times that Boreham Wood have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Boreham Wood have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 9 goals along the way. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see whether that trend might be replicated in this next game.
Heading into this fixture, Boreham Wood have not won at home in their last 2 matches in the league.
