Merstham form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Merstham so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose). With the Merstham losing streak of six defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Merstham's last three away games as they have all been lost.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Merstham, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Carshalton Athletic (placed 10th). A 1-2 defeat away at Margate before that.
We have checked recent matches where Merstham have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were W2-D2-L1.
The schedule is very tough for Merstham now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Isthmian game at Potters Bar Town is waiting in only three days.
Merstham have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Merstham have conceded 11 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
