York City form and stats

Last season, York City's Fa Trophy journey ended in the semi-finals.

The story so far in the National League for York City at their home stadium (Bradley Community Stadium) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

York City's last game was hosting Maidstone United and winning 4-1. Forde was absolutely essential when York beat Maidstone United 4-1, scoring three goals.

2-2 away at Gateshead before that.

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 York City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 5.

York City has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Chelmsford City form and stats

Chelmsford was sent out of Fa Trophy in the 2nd round last season.

Chelmsford City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Chippenham Town proved too strong as Chelmsford City slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at The Hawthorns.

Before that one, the victory at home against Wealdstone in the Fa Trophy (2-1). We have checked recent matches where Chelmsford have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 4 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Chelmsford City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League South game at Ebbsfleet United is waiting in only three days.
