This is a vital fight in the cellar of the Non League Premier: Isthmian, with both Cray Wanderers and Leatherhead going through more angst than bliss. This fixture is a classic "six-pointer" with the home side positioned 20th and the away side in 22nd position.

Insights:
  • Cray Wanderers have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Non League Premier: Isthmian
  • Leatherhead have the most conceded goals in the first half (30) in Non League Premier: Isthmian

It's no vacation for neither Wanderers nor Leatherhead as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Cray Wanderers form and stats

With 2 Non League Premier: Isthmian wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Cray Wanderers are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Cray Wanderers, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The Cray Wanderers crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Corinthian-Casuals here at Hayes Lane in a Non League Premier: Isthmian match.

Preceding that match was the home game against Bognor Regis Town that was lost 0-1.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Cray Wanderers matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, two draws and one defeat (from three games).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Wanderers as they have a new game in only three days, a Non League Premier: Isthmian match thankfully also at home. Carshalton Athletic are visiting.

Cray Wanderers have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Hayes Lane with 18 goals in 11 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Cray Wanderers with 23 goals conceded in these matches. Cray Wanderers has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Leatherhead form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Leatherhead so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-7 (win-draw-lose). When Leatherhead is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 3 of 4 matches. Bowers & Pitsea, East Thurrock United, Leatherhead, Brightlingsea Regent, Potters Bar Town, Wingate & Finchley and Merstham is teams we like to compare Cray Wanderers with. With the Leatherhead losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Leatherhead are looking to quickly end their 204 minutes long goal drought in the Non League Premier: Isthmian.

Leatherhead lost away at Worthing (0-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Leatherhead lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Folkestone Invicta wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Leatherhead when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing two and winning zero games.

Leatherhead have another game away from home in just three sleeps, a Non League Premier: Isthmian game vs Haringey Borough. A back-breaking calendar for the visitors!

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Leatherhead have scored 17 goals in 12 league games away. There are big problems for the Leatherhead defense as they have conceded 36 goals in 12 away games.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the last nine meetings involving these two teams are: three wins for Cray Wanderers, two draws and four wins for Leatherhead. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
