The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Margate are in the 12th position while the guests worry at 16th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Margate form and stats
Margate have collected 7 points from their Non League Premier: Isthmian home games so far after 2-1-2.
A good away victory last time out for Margate, who won 1-0 against Bowers & Pitsea (placed 17th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Bognor Regis Town (1-6).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Margate as they have a new game in only four days, a Non League Premier: Isthmian match thankfully also at home. Potters Bar Town are visiting.
Margate has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Margate have conceded 9 from these games.
Bishop's Stortford form and stats
There's been little loot from Bishop's Stortford's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 8 away games in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. Bishop's Stortford, who have the most conceded goals (35) in Non League Premier: Isthmian, only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. With the Bishop's Stortford losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Bishop's Stortford seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Two away games in a row for Bishop's Stortford, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Haringey Borough in the Non League Premier: Isthmian. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bowers & Pitsea wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
After this away game Bishop's Stortford return home for a Non League Premier: Isthmian game against Lewes. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Bishop's Stortford are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). The Bishop's Stortford manager has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
