Match Preview:
The battle of the Millers with both teams adopting the same nickname. Aveley currently sit in 4th place on 48 points from 25 games. Cray Valley (PM) are 19th on 26 points from 26 games. The form guide points to a home victory with Aveley having taken 13 points from their last six games and Cray Valley (PM) just three points having lost their last five. However football can be an unpredictable game sometimes and Valley with some recent new faces will be looking to build on some positive signs last time out and overturn the form book.
