An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 16th and the visitors in 15th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Dulwich Hamlet and Braintree Town.
Dulwich Hamlet form and stats
Dulwich Hamlet's struggle is real here at Champion Hill with only 9 points collected from 11 Vanarama National League South games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-6. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Dulwich Hamlet fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the St Albans City game long ago, can be stopped today.
Dulwich Hamlet are returning here after visiting Hampton & Richmond in a Vanarama National League South game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Maidstone United (1-4).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Dulwich Hamlet have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won 4 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.
Dulwich Hamlet are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 11 games. Dulwich Hamlet have conceded 19 from these games.
Braintree Town form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (51) in Vanarama National League South, on their Vanarama National League South travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats. It's a growing despair in Braintree Town as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Braintree Town's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The manager G. Borg was unhappy after their last game, a Vanarama National League South match played at their home ground Ironmongery Direct Stadium. Braintree Town suffered a 1-2 loss to Chelmsford City (placed 11th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Concord Rangers.
We have checked recent matches where Braintree Town have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were W4-D1-L4.
Braintree Town has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 18 goals from 12 games. The Braintree Town manager G. Borg has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.
