Deal Town welcome Ashford United at The Charles Ground, Deal, Kent today at 8:45 PM in a Isthmian League – South East Division fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Deal Town come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Ashford United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Deal Town won their last outing, while Ashford United suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Deal Town win or a draw looks most likely.
