Kingstonian form and stats

Kingstonian have collected 15 points from their Non League Premier: Isthmian home games so far after 4-3-5. The home stadium (Imperial Fields) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Kingstonian it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?

The Kingstonian crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-5 to Bishop's Stortford here at Imperial Fields. As you see from the result above, Kingstonian suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

A 2-2 draw away before that, with Wingate & Finchley the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Kingstonian perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kingstonian as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Kingstonian has won 7 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kingstonian as they are travelling to their away game against Lewes in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. That match is three days after this one.

Kingstonian are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Kingstonian have conceded 20 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Margate form and stats

There's been little loot from Margate's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 11 away games in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. Margate only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. When Margate is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 3 of 4 matches. Bognor Regis Town, Bowers & Pitsea, Corinthian-Casuals, Margate, Brightlingsea Regent, Herne Bay and Wingate & Finchley is teams we like to compare Kingstonian with. Margate seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Margate won their last game, 3-1 versus Wingate & Finchley played at home. Hooray; their first three points in the league after eight matches not winning.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Bowers & Pitsea.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Margate playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 3 Margate wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

Goal hungry football fans should note that 8 of this club's 10 latest league matches have ended with at least three goals.

The schedule is very tough for Margate now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Isthmian game at Hastings United is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Margate have conceded 20 goals in these games. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
