vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Dulwich Hamlet go into the second round with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five games: the most recent round was a 2-1 win over Brentwood Town, after a 4-0 win over East Grinstead Town; further back a 3-2 away win over Leatherhead, a 2-2 draw with Three Bridges and, at the start of the run, a 0-1 away defeat to Wingate & Finchley. Welling United have the same record, three wins, one draw and one defeat: their most recent round is a 4-1 win over Wingate & Finchley, preceded by a 2-1 win over Faversham Town, a 1-1 away draw with the same opponents, a 1-4 away defeat to Cray Wanderers and a 1-0 win over Ramsgate. The head to head record has plenty of history: in the most recent meeting, in April, Welling won 2-0 on their own ground, but the season before that Dulwich Hamlet won 3-1 at home, and further back still Dulwich Hamlet won 4-2 in January 2023 and 3-1 in February 2022, both times away at Welling. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
