Team Form

Welling United’s last five results read L, W, W, D, W, including a 1-0 home win over Whyteleafe and a 2-0 victory against Cheshunt. The only setback was a 1-0 loss at Eastbourne Borough on October 10. Crucially, at home they have been perfect this season: six wins from six league matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding just one.

Burgess Hill Town are unbeaten in their last five (W, D, W, D, D). They beat Dulwich Hamlet 2-0 and Maldon & Tiptree 4-1 at home, while drawing with Aveley, Dulwich Hamlet again, and Ramsgate. However, their away form tells a different story – they have yet to win on the road this campaign, collecting only two points from three away games (two draws, one loss).

Burgess Hill Town have the psychological edge. The two previous Isthmian League Premier Division meetings both ended in 2-1 wins for them – away on March 7, 2026, and at home on November 8, 2025. Welling United have yet to beat Burgess Hill Town, which adds pressure on the hosts despite their superior table position.

Welling United vs Burgess Hill Town Prediction & Odds

Bookmakers price Welling United as the favourite at 2.02, with the draw at 3.55 and an away win at 2.90. Based on the stats, the value lies with the home win, but safer betting tips may include a draw no bet on Welling United or under 2.5 goals – only one of the two H2H meetings exceeded that line. Overall, Welling United are the more probable winners, but Burgess Hill Town’s unbeaten run and H2H history warn against complacency. Our prediction is a narrow home victory.
