It's back home for Merstham, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Corinthian-Casuals away with the result 3-0.

Margate form and stats

Things could have gone better for Margate in their Non League Premier: Isthmian away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Home advantage was not enough for Margate in their previous game, as they lost their Non League Premier: Isthmian-match, hosting Lewes, 2-6. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Lewes was particularly ugly (2-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Enfield Town.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Margate manager J. Saunders as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Bishop's Stortford.

Margate are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 3 away goals from 3 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Margate have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
