Game week two of the Non League Premier: Isthmian season and the teams have done their adjustments after the first match. Here's the ultimate Folkestone Invicta - Chatham Town preview:
It's no vacation for neither Folkestone nor Chatham Town 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.
Folkestone Invicta form and stats
Last season, Folkestone Invicta's league results were 18 wins, 5 draws and 19 losses, producing 12th position in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. From these 42 matches they scored {73 goals} and let in 65. Appearing as the home side in the former season Folkestone Invicta produced 11-3-7 (win-draw-lost) with {44 goals} and 31 conceded.
It's back home for Folkestone Invicta, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Wingate & Finchley away with the result 4-0. As mentioned above, Folkestone Invicta "killed" Wingate & Finchley in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Before that game, the home loss against Canvey Island with the scoreline 1-3.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Folkestone Invicta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Folkestone as they have a new game in only four days, a Non League Premier: Isthmian match thankfully also at home. Enfield Town are visiting.
Chatham Town form and stats
Let's have a look at how Chatham Town performed last season in the Non League Div One: Isthmian South East: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 24 victories, 7 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 65 and conceded {35 goals} in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 9 - drew 3 and lost 7 with 30/25 goals scored/conceded.
Chatham Town go into this game after a win, the home game against Bognor Regis Town that ended 1-0.
Preceding that, 1-1 at home hosting Margate in the Kent Senior Cup.
The schedule is very tough for Chatham Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Non League Premier: Isthmian game at Cheshunt is waiting in only four days.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Folkestone three wins, one draw and Chatham Town two victories. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
