With the edgy opening match out of the way it’s time for the second National League duel of the season. Dorking Wanderers are eager to welcome Maidenhead United in front of their home fans.
Dorking Wanderers and Maidenhead United should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Dorking Wanderers form and stats
In the previous season, Dorking Wanderers's league stats were 16 wins, 9 draws and 21 losses, ending with 16th place in the National League. Over these 46 matches they scored {67 goals} and conceded 91. Performing at home in the previous season Dorking Wanderers managed 12-4-7 (win-draw-lost) with {40 goals} and 42 conceded.
The regulars are hoping that Wanderers will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 3-4 away loss in the match against Chesterfield (placed 4th). A goal frenzy last time out for Dorking Wanderers, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Chesterfield. Fun stuff to watch! Heartbreak for Wanderers in their last match as Chesterfield's Quigley scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Scunthorpe United.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dorking Wanderers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the National League game versus Southend United in only three days. This game is also played here at Meadowbank Stadium.
Maidenhead United form and stats
Let's have a look at how Maidenhead United performed last season in the National League: They landed a 20th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 11 draws and 22 defeats. In total they scored 47 and conceded {66 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 3 and lost 15 with 20/40 goals scored/conceded.
Maidenhead delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Fylde (placed 11th) in their previous game. Drawing 2-2 against Fylde after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Devonshire needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Prior to that match, the Maidenhead United manager Devonshire faced defeat when travelling to Gateshead and losing 0-4.Maidenhead United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The schedule is very tough for Maidenhead United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A National League game at Hartlepool United is waiting in only three days.
