Maidstone United form and stats

The hunting on away grounds hasn’t been very fruitful for Maidstone United, who have the fewest scored goals (30) in Vanarama National League, so far with only 22 points returning home. The records show 6-4-13 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Maidstone United much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Harrogate Town will be a tough nut to crack. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Maidstone United's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The manager J. Still was unhappy after their last game, a Vanarama National League match played at their home ground CNG Stadium. Maidstone United suffered a 0-2 loss to Ebbsfleet United (placed 9th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Wrexham wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Maidstone United as they have only managed to score 15 times from 23 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Maidstone United have conceded 35 goals on the road.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Maidstone United - Harrogate Town 0-2 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last one meeting: 1 - 0 - 0 (Harrogate Town wins - draws - Maidstone United wins).
