4-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Vanarama National League South numbers at home for Chippenham Town so far this season. When Chippenham Town hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Hampton & Richmond, Chippenham Town, Hungerford Town, Weymouth, Taunton Town, Dulwich Hamlet and Cheshunt), they have won 2 of 3 matches! With eight home Vanarama National League South games in a row without a win, the Chippenham Town fans could feel they are not getting value for their money.

The home fans saw a 1-1 draw versus Worthing last time out and are looking for a win here. The match result 1-1 has occurred to the home side three league matches in a row!

Preceding that game was the away draw at Welling United that finished 1-1.

Concord Rangers form and stats

There's been little loot from Concord Rangers's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the Vanarama National League South. Concord Rangers only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Concord Rangers in their previous game as they lost hosting Weymouth, 0-5. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Weymouth was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Before that game, 0-0 away against Canvey Island in the Essex Senior Cup. As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

A quick return to home after this game, as Concord are hosting Slough Town in the Vanarama National League South only three days away.
