Chelmsford City welcome Maidstone United at Melbourne Community Stadium, Chelmsford, Essex on Monday, Nov 23 at 8:45 PM in a National League – South fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Chelmsford City come into this fixture drawing too many games (4D in last 5). Maidstone United, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Chelmsford City face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Maidstone United have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Chelmsford City a slight edge, but Maidstone United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
