Braintree Town will clash heads with Maidstone United in this Vanarama National League South fixture. All you need to know about the match is found here!

12-6-23 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Maidstone United when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 41 matches are 53-78 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Braintree nor Maidstone United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Braintree Town form and stats

The hosts won their first Vanarama National League South game here at Ironmongery Direct Stadium, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Braintree Town last season were 12 wins, 9 draws and 2 losses from 23 games.

A nice win for Braintree Town last time playing, versus Truro City. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Clements, Stevenson and Blackwell scoring for the victors. A late climax in the match against Truro City as the winning goal came seven minutes into overtime; scored by Clements.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Taunton Town (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Braintree perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Braintree Town as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Braintree Town has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

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

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Braintree Town at home in the league. 3 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Maidstone United form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Vanarama National League South ended in defeat. Last season Maidstone United had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 2, drew 2 and lost 19.

Before that, Maidstone United secured a home win against Slough Town with the score 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Maidstone playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 1 Maidstone United win, 3 draws and 4 defeats.
