Histon v Weymouth

Third-placed Histon prepare for the visit of relegation-threatened Weymouth to Bridge Road on Tuesday as they look to strengthen their play-off berth.

Stutes boss Steve Fallon will hand a late fitness test to goalkeeper Danny Naisbitt after he limped off during the 1-1 draw against Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday.

Fallon is also sweating on the fitness of right-back Lanre Oyebanjo but midfielder Josh Simpson will definitely miss out with an ankle injury.

"It was a good point for us. I would have taken that before the game," Fallon told Cambridge News Online.

"Kidderminster are a good side and have some big, strong players.

"We did well in the second half but in the last 20 minutes we didn't want to go chasing the win too much and leave ourselves open to losing the game.

"We've now got to scrap and battle for our next two games and hopefully we'll be in the play-offs."

Weymouth boss Bobby Gould could be tempted to hand a starting berth to defender Pierre Joseph-Dubois with Callum Hart struggling to shrug off an injury.

Joseph-Dubois has returned to contention after spending three months on the treatment table with a metatarsal injury and was an unused substitute in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Ebbsfleet.

Gould told the Dorset Echo: "Pierre is very close. He trained yesterday and was very confident with his foot but we thought playing him on Saturday would have been too much too soon."
