After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Braintree Town and Hemel Hempstead Town in this fresh Vanarama National League South season. Read our match preview!
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!
Braintree Town form and stats
Braintree Town have less points than they have played home games in the Vanarama National League South so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Braintree has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager G. Borg and the players. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Braintree, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Stress levels are on the rise for Braintree Town's attacking players as they have now played 383 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. Smyth was their last goal scorer.
The Braintree fans got no joy from their last match, a Vanarama National League South game also here at Ironmongery Direct Stadium: A 0-4 defeat against Dorking Wanderers (placed 2nd). Before that game, the home loss against Maldon & Tiptree with the scoreline 0-1.
As you see from the result above, Braintree Town suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
At Ironmongery Direct Stadium, Braintree Town has the goal stats of 0-7 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Hemel Hempstead Town form and stats
It's not happening yet for Hemel Hempstead Town on their Vanarama National League South travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Hempstead as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Slough Town match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Hempstead have lost on their last two travels.
Home advantage was not enough for Hemel Hempstead Town in their previous game, as they lost their FA Cup-match, hosting Hampton & Richmond, 0-1. A 1-4 defeat away at Maidstone United before that.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Billericay Town in just three days.
Hemel Hempstead Town have the goal stats of 1-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
