All the details ahead of Saturday's trip to AFC Greenwich Borough

Phoenix travel to AFC Greenwich Borough on Saturday for a 3pm kick-off in the SCEFL Premier Division. It will be the first match played at Greenwich Borough’s new Emico Stadium.

Jake Goodman’s side are third in the table after a 3–0 win over Kennington at the Christopher Russell Stadium last weekend. That made it six consecutive league wins for Phoenix, a run that includes 5–1 victories away at Corinthian and Tunbridge Wells.

Greenwich Borough sit fifth with 20 points from 10 games, just two points behind Phoenix with three games in hand.

They have won their last four matches in all competitions, and have earned consecutive 3-2 victories over Hollands & Blair and AFC Greenwich Borough.

The sides drew 1–1 in their first league meeting in September and met again in the SCEFL Challenge Cup on 3 November. Greenwich Borough won that tie 1–0, with Olu Obilana scoring the only goal of the game.

With just two points separating the sides, Phoenix will be looking to make it seven league wins in a row while Greenwich Borough aim to open their new ground with a victory.
