Chelmsford City form and stats

Chelmsford City's results here in the Vanarama National League South have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 4 defeats. When Chelmsford City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Billericay Town, Bath City, Hemel Hempstead Town, Braintree Town, Chelmsford City and Tonbridge Angels), they have won 2 of 3 matches! Two home wins in a row for Chelmsford City bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Chelmsford last time playing, versus Bath City. That was also a home game and the match ended 1-0 with Blackwell scoring for the victors.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Concord Rangers and winning 3-1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Chelmsford City as they have a new game in only two days, a Vanarama National League South match thankfully also at home. St Albans City are visiting.
