Maidstone United form and stats
With 3 National League wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Maidstone United are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's been an uphill battle for Maidstone in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Maidenhead United game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
In their previous game, the manager Ramis-Hayrettin led his Maidstone United to a defeat away at Oldham Athletic. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Gallagher Stadium.
Before that, a nice away win at Eastleigh. A Fa Trophy game.
