York City form and stats

4 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what York City have to build on here at Bradley Community Stadium in the National League.

York City drew their last game, 0-0 away at Oldham Athletic (placed 20th).

A 1-1 scoreline against Chelmsford City (after extra-time, 4-4 on penalties) before that, played at their own home stadium in the Fa Trophy. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Maidenhead United form and stats

Maidenhead United have only collected 10 points from their away games in the National League, after 3-1-10 (14 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Maidenhead United, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Maidenhead lost away at Altrincham (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
