It's fixture two of the Vanarama National League South campaign and everything to play for. Read our detailed preview of Bath City-Maidstone United!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Maidstone United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-7-22 (win-draw-loss) from 41 matches.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Bath City form and stats

In the previous season, Bath City's league statistics were 19 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses, providing 11th position in the Vanarama National League South. During these 46 matches they scored {64 goals} and gave away 57. Playing as the host team in the previous season Bath City produced 10-3-10 (win-draw-lost) with {33 goals} and 29 conceded.

The Bath City manager Gill and his pawns return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Dartford (placed 12th). There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Dartford as Thomas's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes.

Before that, a nice away win at Paulton Rovers. A Somerset Premier Cup game. This is expected to be a close game, with Bath City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bath as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Bath City has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Bath City, as the Vanarama National League South home game vs Weston-super-Mare is only three days away.

A 2-5 loss hosting Notts County before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Maidstone United in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Maidstone United, 4 draws and 3 defeats.
