Maidstone United form and stats

The National League results playing at home this season for Maidstone United, who have the the worst goal difference (-28) in National League, are 3-5-5 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Maidstone with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Maidenhead United game, 56 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The Maidstone United boss Ramis-Hayrettin and his players return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Notts County in the Fa Trophy.

A National League defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at York City.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Aldershot Town are coming to town in three days.

Maidstone are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 13 games. Maidstone United's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. When Maidstone United hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Maidenhead United, Aldershot Town, Gateshead, Yeovil Town, Scunthorpe United, Torquay United and Oldham Athletic), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
