Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kettering Town & Chelmsford City face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Kettering Town form and stats
Kettering Town was eliminated in the 2nd round qualifying replays last season in the FA Cup.4 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Kettering Town have to build on here at Latimer Park in the Vanarama National League North. The home fans are hungry for more even though Kettering Town have been steadily collecting points here at Latimer Park through three straight draws.
In their previous game, the manager P. Cox led his Kettering to a defeat in the Vanarama National League North match away at AFC Telford United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Latimer Park. Heartbreak before that as Kettering lost 1-3 at AFC Telford United's place.
The manager P. Cox will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Gloucester City in only three days.
The Kettering fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. 21 goals have been conceded.
Chelmsford City form and stats
They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the 2nd round qualifying.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Chelmsford City so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 4-3-10 (win-draw-lose).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Chelmsford, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Dartford. It was a Vanarama National League South defeat before that one as the away game against Dartford wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
Chelmsford has another fixture away, a Vanarama National League South game, against Dartford in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Chelmsford have scored 19 goals on their travels this season, from 17 away games in the league. Chelmsford's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 31 goals from these trips.
