Maidstone United form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the National League this season. Maidstone United have only managed 3 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses from their games here at Gallagher Stadium. With nine home National League games in a row without a win, the Maidstone fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

Maidstone United suffered a slightly shocking loss 2-3 against Bromley in their previous match, also a home game. The defeat against Bromley was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by Dennis).

Preceding that match was the home game against Woking that was lost 1-2.

An interesting fact: 8 of the most recent 10 league games from this football club have had at least one goal from each team.

Maidstone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 20 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 35 goals have been conceded. When Maidstone United hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Aldershot Town, Gateshead, Yeovil Town, Scunthorpe United, Torquay United, Dorking Wanderers and York City), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 5 of 5 times.
