Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Bath City & Chelmsford City face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Fa Trophy. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Bath and Chelmsford City.
Bath City form and stats
Bath was eliminated in the 2nd round replays last season in the Fa Trophy.Bath City have played three Vanarama National League South home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bath, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Bath are returning here after visiting Chelmsford City in a Vanarama National League South game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Prior to that, an away loss at Concord Rangers in the Vanarama National League South.
A goal frenzy last time out for Bath, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Chelmsford City. Fun stuff to watch!
The Bath fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Bath City with 6 goals conceded in these matches.
Chelmsford City form and stats
They also participated in Fa Trophy last season. This ended in the 3rd round.The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Vanarama National League South. It's looking increasingly bleak for Chelmsford who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Welling United was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Home advantage was not enough for Chelmsford in their previous game, as they lost their Vanarama National League South-match, hosting Bath City, 3-4. It was a Vanarama National League South defeat before that one as the away game against Havant & Waterlooville wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Bath City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Chelmsford find the net regularly in their away games. 6 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. Chelmsford have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
