Slough Town team overview
Slough Town returns to National League South Action in high spirits after a 2:1 win against Eastbourne on Saturday. Wiktor Makowski's fifth goal of the season secured the points for Scott Davies's side.
A strong run of form has seen Slough pick up victories in each of their last three games, while they have lost just one of their last five National League South fixtures.
Usually a reliable choice for goal chasers, a minimum of three goals were scored in seven of Slough's last nine matches, including each of their four most recent games.
Following the quick turnaround from Saturday's matchup, head coach Davies is likely to rotate his starting selection. The visitors have no reported injury issues.
