The Eastbourne Borough manager D. Bloor attacks this game with the team placed 8th so far. In the visitors dressing room Chelmsford City and their manager R. Simpson are in 16th place before this match.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a FA Cup match only four days ago. This match was also played here at Priory Lane Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Chelmsford City have had more rest.
Eastbourne Borough form and stats
Eastbourne Borough's first Vanarama National League South home game here at Priory Lane Stadium ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats from 17 matches.
A nice win for Eastbourne last time playing, versus Sheppey United. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-1. In the game before, an away victory in the Vanarama National League South match versus Hemel Hempstead Town with a 4-1 scoreline.
This is expected to be a close game, with Eastbourne Borough perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Eastbourne Borough as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Eastbourne Borough has won two of these, drawn four and lost five.
Early season league goal statistics from Eastbourne Borough's 1 home game: 0 goals, 3 conceded.
Chelmsford City form and stats

There were no winners in Chelmsford's previous match, a Vanarama National League South home game that ended 1-1 vs Oxford City (placed 4th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Dartford wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chelmsford City playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were zero Chelmsford wins, one draw and five defeats.
Chelmsford City have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
