Fleet Spurs welcome FC Deportivo Galicia to Kennels Lane in the first of 6 games Spurs face in January. This game marks the halfway point of the league season for Spurs.
Spurs are enjoying a rich vein of form with 6 wins in the last 8 games which has moved the first team to 9th in the Division 1 league.
One of the 2 loses was against our opponents in this match, FC Deportivo Galicia, which gives us an early opportunity to reverse that result.
Galicia are a troubled travelling team with just 1 win in 10 away matches (7 losses + 2 drawn). In fact, our visitors haven not won since defeating us 4-1 (Spurs goal Andre Smith) on 16/11/19.
Sitting 17th in the division, Deportivo are 7 points behind us with 20 points from 21 games. Their highest goal scorer is Anton Fernandez (10) followed by Leonardo Carvalho (7). Galicia have the unfortunate statistic of being the divisions weakest defence, leaking 58 goals so far this season.
Andre Smith remains top goal scorer for Spurs with 16 goals in all competitions. The remaining goals have been shared amongst 12 other first team players.
However, take nothing for granted - we have seen what happens when we let our concentration slip - but also - how well we can play when we put our minds to it.
It would be nice to start the new year with a win & set up an exciting run to the end of the season.
