Chelmsford City form and stats

This is not the first game this season in the Fa Trophy for Chelmsford City, as the manager Simpson led his troops to eliminate Redditch United, and reach the 3rd Round. Chelmsford participated in Fa Trophy the last season, where they reached the 2nd round.

Chelmsford City drew their last game, 2-2 away at Braintree Town.

Previous to that game, a Vanarama National League South home match hosting Braintree Town in a game that was won 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Chelmsford City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Chelmsford as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Chelmsford City has won 7 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Chelmsford City, as the Vanarama National League South home game vs Chippenham Town is only three days away.
