Season ticket holders at Moatside Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Merstham languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Cray Wanderers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Merstham and Cray Wanderers.

Merstham form and stats

When playing at home in the Non League Premier: Isthmian, Merstham have managed 1 win, 0 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 5 games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Merstham to get some points in this home game. With Merstham having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager H. Bird.

Merstham's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Leatherhead (placed 12th). Preceding that match was the home game against Worthing that was lost 1-3.

This is expected to be a close game, with Merstham perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Merstham as a small favourite), we find nine games. Merstham has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The manager H. Bird will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Horsham in only four days.

The Merstham fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Merstham with 11 goals conceded in these matches.

Cray Wanderers form and stats

Things could have gone better for Cray Wanderers in their Non League Premier: Isthmian away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.

The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Non League Premier: Isthmian match played at their home ground Moatside Stadium. Cray Wanderers suffered a 3-5 loss to Enfield Town (placed 4th). Prior to that match, the Cray Wanderers manager faced defeat when travelling to Haringey Borough and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cray Wanderers playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 0 Cray Wanderers wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Non League Premier: Isthmian trip to Lewes.

Cray Wanderers have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 6 goals from 3 away matches. It's not easy to score on Cray Wanderers as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
